Abstract

We study the following nonlinear fractional Schrödinger-Poisson system with critical growth:

$$\left\{ {\begin{array}{*{20}{c}} {{{( - \Delta )}^s}u + u + \phi u = f(u) + {{\left| u \right|}^{2_s^*}}u,}&{x \in {\mathbb{R}^3},} \\ {{{( - \Delta )}^t}\phi = {u^2},\;\;\;\;\;\;\;\;\;\;\;\;\;\;\;\;\;\;\;\;\;\;}&{x \in {\mathbb{R}^3},} \end{array}} \right.$$
((0.1))

where 0 < s, t < 1, 2s + 2t>3 and \(2_s^* = {6 \over {3 - 2s}}\) is the critical Sobolev exponent in ℝ3. Under some more general assumptions on f, we prove that (0.1) admits a nontrivial ground state solution by using a constrained minimization on a Nehari-Pohozaev manifold.
