- Abstract
The purpose of this paper is three-fold. First, we establish singular Trudinger–Moser inequalities with less restrictive constraint: (0.1) sup u ∈ H 1 ( R 2 ) , ∫ R 2 (| ∇ u | 2 + V (x) u 2 ) d x ≤ 1 ∫ R 2 e 4 π 1 − β 2 u 2 − 1 | x | β d x < + ∞ , where 0 < β < 2 , V (x) ≥ 0 and may vanish on an open set in R 2 . Second, we consider the existence of ground states to the following Schrödinger equations with critical exponential growth in R 2 : (0.2) − Δ u + γ u = f (u) | x | β , where the nonlinearity f has the critical exponential growth. In order to overcome the lack of compactness, we develop a method which is based on the threshold of the least energy, an embedding theorem introduced in (C. Zhang and L. Chen, "Concentration-compactness principle of singular Trudinger-Moser inequalities in R n and n -Laplace equations," Adv. Nonlinear Stud., vol. 18, no. 3, pp. 567–585, 2018) and the Nehari manifold to get the existence of ground states. Furthermore, as an application of inequality (0.1), we also prove the existence of ground states to the following equations involving degenerate potentials in R 2 : (0.3) − Δ u + V (x) u = f (u) | x | β .
