We consider the magnetic NLS equation ![\[
\begin{eqnarray} (-{\varepsilon \rmi}\nabla+A(x)) ^{2}u+V(x)u=\vert u\vert ^{p-2}u,\tqs x\in\mathbb{R}^{N}, \end{eqnarray}
\]](http://ej.iop.org/images/0951-7715/22/9/013/non298749de001.gif)
where N ≥ 3, 2 < p < 2* := 2N/(N − 2),
is a magnetic potential and
is a bounded electric potential. We consider a group G of orthogonal transformations of
, and we assume that A(gx) = gA(x) and V(gx) = V(x) for any g
G,
. Given a group homomorphism
into the unit complex numbers, we show the existence of semiclassical solutions
to problem (0.1), which satisfy ![\[
\begin{equation*} u_{\varepsilon}(gx)=\tau(g)u_{\varepsilon}(x) \end{equation*}
\]](http://ej.iop.org/images/0951-7715/22/9/013/non298749ude001.gif)
for all g
G,
. Moreover, we show that there is a combined effect of the symmetries and the electric potential V on the number of solutions of this type.
