We consider a class of Chern-Simons-Schrödinger system
$ \begin{align*} \begin{cases} -\Delta u+V(x) u+A_{0}u+\sum\limits_{j = 1}^{2} A_{j}^{2}u = g(u), \\ \partial_{1}A_{0} = A_{2}|u|^{2}, \ \ \partial_{2}A_{0} = -A_{1}|u|^{2}, \\ \partial_{1}A_{2}-\partial_{2}A_{1} = -\frac{1}{2}u^{2}, \ \ \partial_{1}A_{1}+\partial_{2}A_{2} = 0, \end{cases} \end{align*} $
where
$ V $
 is coercive sign-changing potential and
$ f $
 satisfies some suitable conditions. Due to lack of the mountain pass geometry and the link geometry for the corresponding variational functional, we obtain the existence of nontrivial solutions via the local link theorem.
Keywords: Chern-Simons-Schrödinger system, indefinite potential, variational methods, local link theorem, nontrivial solutions.
