Abstract
This paper studies a class of nonlocal nonlinear Schrödinger equations in R 3, which occurs in the infinite ion acoustic speed limit of the Zakharov system with magnetic fields in a cold plasma. The magnetic fields induce some nonlocal effects in these nonlinear Schrödinger systems, and the main goal of this paper is to understand these effects. The key is to establish some a priori estimates on the nonlocal terms generated by the magnetic field, through which we obtain various conclusions including finite time blow-ups, sharp threshold of global existence and instability of standing waves for these equations.
