In this paper we study the following class of fractional relativistic Schrödinger equations:
$ \begin{equation*} \left\{ \begin{array}{ll} (-\Delta+m^{2})^{s}u + V(\varepsilon x) u = f(u) &\text{ in } \mathbb{R}^{N}, \\ u\in H^{s}( \mathbb{R}^{N}), \quad u>0 &\text{ in } \mathbb{R}^{N}, \end{array} \right. \end{equation*} $
where
$ \varepsilon >0 $
 is a small parameter,
$ s\in (0, 1) $
,
$ m>0 $
,
$ N> 2s $
,
$ (-\Delta+m^{2})^{s} $
 is the fractional relativistic Schrödinger operator,
$ V: \mathbb{R}^{N} \rightarrow \mathbb{R} $
 is a continuous potential satisfying a local condition, and
$ f: \mathbb{R} \rightarrow \mathbb{R} $
 is a continuous subcritical nonlinearity. By using a variant of the extension method and a penalization technique, we first prove that, for
$ \varepsilon >0 $
 small enough, the above problem admits a weak solution
$ u_{\varepsilon } $
 which concentrates around a local minimum point of
$ V $
 as
$ \varepsilon \rightarrow 0 $
. We also show that
$ u_{\varepsilon } $
 has an exponential decay at infinity by constructing a suitable comparison function and by performing some refined estimates. Secondly, by combining the generalized Nehari manifold method and Ljusternik-Schnirelman theory, we relate the number of positive solutions with the topology of the set where the potential
$ V $
 attains its minimum value.
Keywords: fractional relativistic Schrödinger operator, extension method, variational methods, Ljusternik-Schnirelman theory.
