This paper is concerned with the Klein-Gordon-Maxwell system in a bounded space domain. We
discuss the existence of standing waves $\psi=u(x)e^{-i\omega t}$ in
equilibrium with a purely electrostatic field $\mathbf{E}=-\nabla\phi(x)$. We
assume homogeneous Dirichlet boundary conditions on $u$ and non homogeneous
Neumann boundary conditions on $\phi$. In the "linear" case we prove the existence of a nontrivial
solution when the coupling constant is sufficiently small. Moreover we show that a suitable nonlinear perturbation in
the matter equation gives rise to infinitely many solutions.
These problems have a variational structure so that we can apply
global variational methods.
