Title: Local well-posedness and standing waves with prescribed mass for Schrodinger-Poisson systems with a logarithmic potential in R^2 Authors: Xuechao Dou (Shandong Univ. of Technology, China) Juntao Sun (Shandong Univ. of Technology, China) Abstract: In this article, we consider planar Schrodinger-Poisson systems with a logarithmic external potential $W(x)=\ln (1+|x|^2)$ and a general nonlinear term $f$. We obtain conditions for the local well-posedness of the Cauchy problem in the energy space. By introducing some suitable assumptions on $f$, we prove the existence of the global minimizer. In addition, with the help of the local well-posedness, we show that the set of ground state standing waves is orbitally stable. Submitted May 6, 2023. Published September 25, 2023.
