Abstract

We prove the existence of a nontrivial solution $u \in H^1 (\mathbb {R}^N)$ to the nonlinear Choquard equation \[ - \Delta u + u = \bigl (I_\alpha \ast F (u)\bigr ) F’ (u) \quad \text {in \(\mathbb {R}^N\),} \] where $I_\alpha$ is a Riesz potential, under almost necessary conditions on the nonlinearity $F$ in the spirit of Berestycki and Lions. This solution is a groundstate and has additional local regularity properties; if moreover $F$ is even and monotone on $(0,\infty )$, then $u$ is of constant sign and radially symmetric.
