Abstract
We consider a semilinear elliptic problem \[ - \Delta u + u = (I_\alpha \ast \abs{u}^p) \abs{u}^{p - 2} u\quad\text{in \(\R^N\),} \] where \(I_\alpha\) is a Riesz potential and \(p>1\). This family of equations includes the Choquard or nonlinear Schr\"odinger--Newton equation. For an optimal range of parameters we prove the existence of a positive groundstate solution of the equation. We also establish regularity and positivity of the groundstates and prove that all positive groundstates are radially symmetric and monotone decaying about some point. Finally, we derive the decay asymptotics at infinity of the groundstates.
