Abstract

In this paper, we establish the existence of ground state solutions for fractional Schrödinger equations with a critical exponent. The methods used here are based on the $s-$harmonic extension technique of Caffarelli and Silvestre, the concentration-compactness principle of Lions and methods of Brezis and Nirenberg.
