Abstract
In this paper, we study normalized solutions of the fractional Schrödinger equation with a critical nonlinearity
where \(N\ge 2\), \(s\in (0,1)\), \(a>0\), \(2<p<2_{s}^{*}=\frac{2N}{2N-2s}\) and \((-\Delta )^{s}\) is the fractional Laplace operator. We prove the existence of the normalized solutions under different conditions on a, p, s and N.
