Abstract: We study a nonlinear Schrödinger-Poisson system which reduces to a nonlinear andnonlocal PDE set on the whole spatial domain, whose variational formulation requires propertiesof a suitable finite energy space, such as separability and compactness, that we study and use.Our equation involves a weight function which is allowed as particular scenarios, to either 1) vanish on a region and be finite at infinity, or 2) be large at infinity. We find least energy solutionsin both cases, studying the vanishing case by means of a priori integral bounds on sequences ofapproximating solutions and highlighting the role of certain positive universal constants for thesebounds to hold. Within the Ljusternik-Schnirelman theory we show the existence of infinitelymany distinct pairs of high energy solutions, having a min-max characterisation given by meansof the Krasnoselskii genus.
