摘要: We study the Choquard equation $\begin{equation*}\label{a-1} -\Delta u+V(x)u=b(x)\int_{{\mathbb{R}^{3}}}{\frac{{{\left| u(y) \right|}^{2}}}{{{\left| x-y \right|}}}{\rm d}y}{u},\ x\in\mathbb{R}^{3}, \end{equation*}$ where $ V(x)=V_1(x)$, $ b(x)=b_1(x) $ for $ x_1>0 $ and $ V(x)=V_2(x), b(x)=b_2(x) $ for $ x_1<0 $, and $ V_1 $, $ V_2 $, $ b_1 $ and $ b_2 $ are periodic in each coordinate direction. Under some suitable assumptions, we prove the existence of a ground state solution of the equation. Additionally, we find some sufficient conditions to guarantee the existence and nonexistence of a ground state solution of the equation.
