Existence and symmetry of solutions to 2-D Schrödinger–Newton equations

In this paper, we consider the following 2-D Schr\"{o}dinger-Newton equations \begin{eqnarray*} -\Delta u+a(x)u+\frac{\gamma}{2\pi}\left(\log(|\cdot|)*|u|^p\right){|u|}^{p-2}u=b{|u|}^{q-2}u \qquad \text{in} \,\,\, \mathbb{R}^{2}, \end{eqnarray*} where $a\in C(\mathbb{R}^{2})$ is a $\mathbb{Z}^{2}$-periodic function with $\inf_{\mathbb{R}^{2}}a>0$, $\gamma>0$, $b\geq0$, $p\geq2$ and $q\geq 2$. By using ideas from \cite{CW,DW,Stubbe}, under mild assumptions, we obtain existence of ground state solutions and mountain pass solutions to the above equations for $p\geq2$ and $q\geq2p-2$ via variational methods. The auxiliary functional $J_{1}$ plays a key role in the cases $p\geq3$. We also prove the radial symmetry of positive solutions (up to translations) for $p\geq2$ and $q\geq 2$. The corresponding results for planar Schr\"{o}dinger-Poisson systems will also be obtained. Our theorems extend the results in \cite{CW,DW} from $p=2$ and $b=1$ to general $p\geq2$ and $b\geq0$.
