Title: Schrodinger-Poisson systems with singular potential and critical exponent Authors: Senli Liu (Central South Univ., Changsha, Hunan, China) Haibo Chen (Central South Univ., Changsha, Hunan, China) Zhaosheng Feng (Univ. of Texas Rio Grande Valley, Edinburg, TX, USA) Abstract: In this article we study the Schrodinger-Poisson system $$\displaylines{ -\Delta u +V(|x|)u+\lambda\phi u = f(u), \quad x\in\mathbb{R}^3, \cr -\Delta \phi =u^2, \quad x\in\mathbb{R}^3, }$$ where V is a singular potential with the parameter $\alpha$ and the nonlinearity f satisfies critical growth. By applying a generalized version of Lions-type theorem and the Nehari manifold theory, we establish the existence of the nonnegative ground state solution when $\lambda=0$. By the perturbation method, we obtain a nontrivial solution to above system when $\lambda\neq 0$. Submitted July 18, 2020. Published December 26, 2020.
