Uniqueness and nondegeneracy of ground states for −Δu+u=(Iα⋆u2)u-\Delta u+u=\left({{\rm{I}}}_{\alpha }\star {u}^{2})u in R3{{\mathbb{R}}}^{3} when α\alpha is close to 2

Abstract

In this article, we study the following Choquard equation: −Δu+u=(Iα⋆u2)u,x∈R3,-\Delta u+u=\left({{\rm{I}}}_{\alpha }\star {u}^{2})u,\hspace{1.0em}x\in {{\mathbb{R}}}^{3}, where Iα{{\rm{I}}}_{\alpha } is the Riesz potential and α\alpha is sufficiently close to 2. By investigating the limit profile of ground states of the equation as α→2\alpha \to 2, we prove the uniqueness and nondegeneracy of ground states.
