Abstract. In this paper, we study the existence and multiplicity of solutions with a prescribed L2-norm for a class of nonlinear Chern–Simons–Schrödinger equations in R2

u - λu + (h2(|x|/|x|2 + ∫|x|+∞ h(s/s u2(s)ds)u = |u|p - 2u,

where

h(s) = 1/2 ∫0s ru2(r)dr.

To get such solutions we look for critical points of the energy functional

I(u) = 1/2 ∫R2 |∇u|2 + 1/2 ∫R2 |u|2/|x|2 (∫0|x| s/2 u2(s)ds)2 - 1/pR2 |u|p

on the constraints

Sr(c) = {uHr1(R2) : ||u||2L2(R2) = c}, c > 0.

When p = 4, we prove a sufficient condition for the nonexistence of constrain critical points of I on Sr(c) for certain c and get infinitely many minimizers of I on Sr(8π). For the value p ∈ (4,+∞) considered, the functional I is unbounded from below on Sr(c). By using the constrained minimization method on a suitable submanifold of Sr(c), we prove that for certain c > 0, I has a critical point on Sr(c). After that, we get an H1-bifurcation result of our problem. Moreover, by using a minimax procedure, we prove that there are infinitely many critical points of I restricted on Sr(c) for any c ∈ (0,4π/√(p - 3)).
