In this paper we consider the following fractional Laplacian equation
$ \left\{\begin{array}{ll} (-\Delta).s u=g(x, u) & x\in\Omega,\\ u=0, & x \in \mathbb{R}.N\setminus\Omega,\end{array} \right. $
where $ s\in (0, 1)$ is fixed, $\Omega$ is an open bounded set of $\mathbb{R}.N$, $N > 2s$, with smooth boundary, $(-\Delta).s$ is the fractional Laplace operator. By Morse theory we obtain the existence of nontrivial weak solutions when the problem is resonant at both infinity and zero.
Keywords: Fractional Laplacian, resonance, angle condition, Palais-Smale condition, critical group, Morse theory.
