We prove a bifurcation and multiplicity result for a critical fractional p‐Laplacian problem that is the analog of the Brézis‐Nirenberg problem for the nonlocal quasilinear case. This extends a result in the literature for the semilinear case p=2 to all p∈(1,∞) , in particular, it gives a new existence result. When p≠2 , the nonlinear operator (−Δ)ps,s∈(0,1) , has no linear eigenspaces, so our extension is nontrivial and requires a new abstract critical point theorem that is not based on linear subspaces. We prove a new abstract result based on a pseudo‐index related to the Z2 ‐cohomological index that is applicable here.
