Goal of this paper is to study positive semiclassical solutions of the nonlinear Schrödinger equation ε2s(- Δ)s u+ V(x) u= f(u), x ∈ ℝN, where s ∈ (0,1), N ≥ 2, V ∈ C(ℝN,ℝ) is a positive potential and f is assumed critical and satisfying general Berestycki-Lions type conditions. We obtain existence and multiplicity for ε>0 small, where the number of solutions is related to the cup-length of a set of local minima of V. Furthermore, these solutions are proved to concentrate in the potential well, exhibiting a polynomial decay. We highlight that these results are new also in the limiting local setting s=1 and N≥ 3, with an exponential decay of the solutions.
