On a fractional magnetic pseudorelativistic operator: properties and applications

We introduce a fractional magnetic pseudorelativistic operator for a general fractional order $s\in (0,1)$. First we define a suitable functional setting and we prove some fundamental properties. Then we show the behavior of the operator as $s\nearrow 1$ obtaining some results à la Bourgain-Brezis-Mironescu and removing the singularity from the integral definition. Finally we get existence of weak solutions for some semilinear equations involving a power type nonlinearity or a nonlocal (Choquard type) term.
