Existence, non-existence and blow-up behavior of minimizers for the mass-critical fractional nonlinear Schr\"odinger equations with periodic potentials

Abstract

We consider the minimizing problem for the energy functional with prescribed mass constraint related to the fractional nonlinear Schr\"odinger equation with periodic potentials. Using the concentration-compactness principle, we show a complete classification for the existence and non-existence of minimizers for the problem. In the mass-critical case, under a suitable assumption of the potential, we give a detailed description of blow-up behavior of minimizers once the mass tends to a critical value.
