This paper is concerned with the static Choquard equation where 
$$\begin{eqnarray}-\unicode[STIX]{x1D6E5}u=\bigg(\frac{1}{|x|^{N-\unicode[STIX]{x1D6FC}}}\ast |u|^{p}\bigg)|u|^{p-2}u\quad \text{in }\mathbb{R}^{N},\end{eqnarray}$$
$N,p>2$ and 
$\max \{0,N-4\}<\unicode[STIX]{x1D6FC}<N$. We prove that if 
$u\in C^{1}(\mathbb{R}^{N})$ is a stable weak solution of the equation, then 
$u\equiv 0$. This phenomenon is quite different from that of the local Lane–Emden equation, where such a result only holds for low exponents in high dimensions. Our result is the first Liouville theorem for Choquard-type equations with supercritical exponents and 
$\unicode[STIX]{x1D6FC}\neq 2$.
We are concerned with the semi-classical states for the Choquard equation
where N ⩾ 2, Iα is the Riesz potential with order α ∈ (0, N − 1) and 2 ⩽ p < (N + α)/(N − 2). When the potential V is assumed to be bounded and bounded away from zero, we construct a family of localized bound states of higher topological type that concentrate around the local minimum points of the potential V as ε → 0. These solutions are obtained by combining the Byeon–Wang's penalization approach and the classical symmetric mountain pass theorem.
$$-{\epsilon }^2\Delta v + Vv = {\epsilon }^{-\alpha }(I_\alpha *|v|^p)|v|^{p-2}v,\quad v\in H^1({\mathbb R}^N),$$
For the Choquard equation, which is a nonlocal nonlinear Schrödinger type equation,
where 
$$-\Delta u+V_{\mu, \nu} u=(I_\alpha\ast \vert u \vert ^{({N+\alpha})/{N}}){ \vert u \vert }^{{\alpha}/{N}-1}u,\quad {\rm in} \ {\open R}^N, $$
$N\ges 3$, Vμ,ν :ℝN → ℝ is an external potential defined for μ, ν > 0 and x ∈ ℝN by Vμ,ν(x) = 1 − μ/(ν2 + |x|2) and 
$I_\alpha : {\open R}^N \to 0$ is the Riesz potential for α ∈ (0, N), we exhibit two thresholds μν, μν > 0 such that the equation admits a positive ground state solution if and only if μν < μ < μν and no ground state solution exists for μ < μν. Moreover, if μ > max{μν, N2(N − 2)/4(N + 1)}, then equation still admits a sign changing ground state solution provided 
$N \ges 4$ or in dimension N = 3 if in addition 3/2 < α < 3 and 
$\ker (-\Delta + V_{\mu ,\nu }) = \{ 0\} $, namely in the non-resonant case.
We study the multiplicity and concentration behaviour of positive solutions for a quasi-linear Choquard equation
where Δp is the p-Laplacian operator, 1 < p < N, V is a continuous real function on ℝN, 0 < μ < N, F(s) is the primitive function of f(s), ε is a positive parameter and * represents the convolution between two functions. The question of the existence of semiclassical solutions for the semilinear case p = 2 has recently been posed by Ambrosetti and Malchiodi. We suppose that the potential satisfies the condition introduced by del Pino and Felmer, i.e.V has a local minimum. We prove the existence, multiplicity and concentration of solutions for the equation by the penalization method and Lyusternik–Schnirelmann theory and even show novel results for the semilinear case p = 2.
