Abstract
In this paper, we investigate a general integrable three-component coupled nonlocal nonlinear Schrödinger system with the parity-time symmetry. The general Nth Darboux transformation for this equation is constructed by proposing its Lax pair and infinitely many conservation laws. By using the Darboux transformation, its soliton solutions are obtained. Finally, we concretely discuss the dynamics of the obtained soliton solutions, which are also demonstrated by some figures.
