Abstract

We prove the existence of a ground state positive solution of Schrödinger–Poisson systems in the plane of the form

\[ -\Delta u + V(x)u + \frac{\gamma}{2\pi} \left(\log|\cdot| \ast u^2 \right)u = b |u|^{p-2}u \quad\text{in}\ \mathbb{R}^2, \]
where $p\ge 4$, $\gamma,b>0$ and the potential $V$ is assumed to be positive and unbounded at infinity. On the potential we do not require any symmetry or periodicity assumption, and it is not supposed it has a limit at infinity. We approach the problem by variational methods, using a variant of the mountain pass theorem and the Cerami compactness condition.
