We consider a nonlocal Schroedinger equation in a smooth domain with Dirichlet datum and we construct solutions that concentrate at interior points of the domain. The proof uses a scaling blow up of the space variable and an appropriate Lyapunov-Schmidt bifurcation argument. The leading of the reduced energy functional in this case is not exponential, but polynomial with respect to the distance from the boundary. The exponent of such asymptotics is also quite unexpected and the competition among different scalings causes of course some technical difficulties, that can be overcome by a careful analysis of the nonlocal Robin function. The results presented were obtained in collaboration with J. D\'avila, M. del Pino and E. Valdinoci.
