This paper is devoted to the study of the following Schrödinger–Kirchhoff–Hardy equation in
$ \mathbb R^n $
$ M\left(\iint_{\mathbb R^{2n}}\frac{|u(x)-u(y)|^p}{|x-y|^{n+ps}}dxdy\right)(-\Delta)^{s}_pu+V(x)|u|^{p-2}u-\mu\frac{|u|^{p-2}u}{|x|^{ps}} = f(x, u), $
where
$ (-\Delta)^s_p $
 is the fractional
$ p $
–Laplacian, with
$ s\in(0, 1) $
 and
$ p>1 $
, dimension
$ n>ps $
,
$ M $
 models a Kirchhoff coefficient,
$ V $
 is a positive potential,
$ f $
 is a continuous nonlinearity and
$ \mu $
 is a real parameter. The main feature of the paper is the combination of a Kirchhoff coefficient and a Hardy term with a suitable function
$ f $
 which does not necessarily satisfy the Ambrosetti–Rabinowitz condition. Under different assumptions for
$ f $
 and restrictions for
$ \mu $
, we provide existence and multiplicity results by variational methods.
Keywords: Schrödinger–Kirchhoff equations, existence of entire solutions, fractional p–Laplacian operator, Hardy coefficients, variational methods.
