Abstract:

In this paper, we mainly study the existence of standing wave solutions for nonlinear Schrödinger equations with the Chern-Simons gauge field on the plane. Compared with most existing works in the literature, the main novelty of this paper lies in allowing the sign of the Schrödinger operator $-\Delta+V$ to be indefinite, so that the corresponding variational functional does not satisfy the mountain pass geometry. By using a local linking technique and the infinite-dimensional Morse theory, we obtain a nontrivial solution to the problem. Moreover, under the assumption that the nonlinearity is odd, we establish the existence of infinitely many high-energy solutions via the fountain theorem.

Key words: Chern-Simons gauge field, indefinite potential, standing waves, critical groups
