Abstract

We study, in the semiclassical limit, the singularly perturbed nonlinear Schrödinger equations LA,Vħu=f(|u|2)uinRNwhere N≥ 3 , LA,Vħ is the Schrödinger operator with a magnetic field having source in a C1 vector potential A and a scalar continuous (electric) potential V defined by LA,Vħ=-ħ2Δ-2ħiA·∇+|A|2-ħidivA+V(x).Here, f is a nonlinear term which satisfies the so-called Berestycki-Lions conditions. We assume that there exists a bounded domain Ω ⊂ RN such that (Formula presented.). For ħ> 0 small we prove the existence of at least cupl (K) + 1 geometrically distinct, complex-valued solutions to (0.1) whose moduli concentrate around K as ħ→ 0.
