Partially concentrating standing waves for weakly coupled Schrödinger systems

Abstract: We study the existence of standing waves for the following weakly coupled system of two Schr\"odinger equations in $\mathbb{R}^N$, $N=2,3$, [ \begin{cases} i \hslash \partial_{t}\psi_{1}=-\frac{\hslash^2}{2m_{1}}\Delta \psi_{1}+ {V_1}(x)\psi_{1}-\mu_{1}|\psi_{1}|^{2}\psi_{1}-\beta|\psi_{2}|^{2}\psi_{1} & \ i \hslash \partial_{t}\psi_{2}=-\frac{\hslash^2}{2m_{2}}\Delta \psi_{2}+ {V_2}(x)\psi_{2}-\mu_{2}|\psi_{2}|^{2}\psi_{2}-\beta|\psi_{1}|^{2}\psi_{2},& \end{cases} ] where $V_1$ and $V_2$ are radial potentials bounded from below. We address the case $m_{1}\sim \hslash^2\to0$, $m_2$ constant, and prove the existence of a standing wave solution with both nontrivial components satisfying a prescribed asymptotic profile. In particular, the second component of such solution exhibits a concentrating behavior, while the first one keeps a quantum nature.
