Abstract The concentration-compactness principle for the Trudinger–Moser-type inequality in the Euclidean space was established crucially relying on the Pólya–Szegő inequality which allows to adapt the symmetrization argument. As far as we know, the first concentration-compactness principle of Trudinger–Moser type in non-Euclidean settings, such as the Heisenberg (and more general stratified) groups where the Pólya–Szegő inequality fails, was found in [J. Li, G. Lu and M. Zhu, Concentration-compactness principle for Trudinger–Moser inequalities on Heisenberg groups and existence of ground state solutions, Calc. Var. Partial Differential Equations 57 2018, 3, Paper No. 84] by developing a nonsmooth truncation argument. In this paper, we establish the concentration-compactness principle of Trudinger–Moser type on any compact Riemannian manifolds as well as on the entire complete noncompact Riemannian manifolds with Ricci curvature lower bound. Our method is a symmetrization-free argument on Riemannian manifolds where the Pólya–Szegő inequality fails. This method also allows us to give a completely symmetrization-free argument on the entire Heisenberg (or stratified) groups which refines and improves a proof in the paper of Li, Lu and Zhu. Our results also show that the bounds for the suprema in the concentration-compactness principle on compact manifolds are continuous and monotone increasing with respect to the volume of the manifold.

AbstractIn this paper, we prove the existence of positive ground state solutions of the Schrödinger–Poisson system involving a negative nonlocal term and critical exponent on a bounded domain. The main tools are the mountain pass theorem and the concentration compactness principle.

AbstractIn this paper, we use the rearrangement-free argument, in the spirit of the work by Li, Lu and Zhu [25], on the concentration-compactness principle on the Heisenberg group to establish a sharpened version of the singular Lions concentration-compactness principle for the Trudinger–Moser inequality in{\mathbb{R}^{n}}. Then we prove a compact embedding theorem, which states that{W^{1,n}(\mathbb{R}^{n})}is compactly embedded into{L^{p}(\mathbb{R}^{n},|x|^{-\beta}\,dx)}for{p\geq n}and{0<\beta<n}. As an application of the above results, we establish sufficient conditions for the existence of ground state solutions to the followingn-Laplace equation with critical nonlinearity:($*$){}\left\{\begin{aligned} &\displaystyle{-}\operatorname{div}(|\nabla u|^{n-2}% \nabla u)+V(x)|u|^{n-2}u=\frac{f(x,u)}{|x|^{\beta}},\\ &\displaystyle u\in W^{1,n}(\mathbb{R}^{n}),\quad u\geq 0,\end{aligned}\right.where{V(x)\geq c_{0}}for some positive constant{c_{0}}and{f(x,t)}behaves like{\exp(\alpha|t|^{\frac{n}{n-1}})}as{t\rightarrow+\infty}. This work improves substantially related results found in the literature.

This paper deals with a class of fractional Schr\”{o}dinger-Poisson system \[\begin{cases}\displaystyle (-\Delta )^{s}u+V(x)u-K(x)\phi |u|^{2^*_s-3}u=a (x)f(u), &x \in \R^{3}\\ (-\Delta )^{s}\phi=K(x)|u|^{2^*_s-1}, &x \in \R^{3}\end{cases} \]with a critical nonlocal term and multiple competing potentials, which may decay and vanish at infinity, where $s \in (\frac{3}{4},1)$, $ 2^*_s = \frac{6}{3-2s}$ is the fractional critical exponent. The problem is set on the whole space and compactness issues have to be tackled. By employing the mountain pass theorem, concentration-compactness principle and approximation method, the existence of a positive ground state solution is obtained under appropriate assumptions imposed on $V, K, a$ and $f$.

AbstractIn this paper, we establish a sharp concentration-compactness principle associated with the singular Adams inequality on the second-order Sobolev spaces in{\mathbb{R}^{4}}. We also give a new Sobolev compact embedding which states{W^{2,2}(\mathbb{R}^{4})}is compactly embedded into{L^{p}(\mathbb{R}^{4},|x|^{-\beta}\,dx)}for{p\geq 2}and{0<\beta<4}. As applications, we establish the existence of ground state solutions to the following bi-Laplacian equation with critical nonlinearity:\displaystyle\Delta^{2}u+V(x)u=\frac{f(x,u)}{|x|^{\beta}}\quad\mbox{in }% \mathbb{R}^{4},where{V(x)}has a positive lower bound and{f(x,t)}behaves like{\exp(\alpha|t|^{2})}as{t\to+\infty}. In the case{\beta=0}, because of the loss of Sobolev compact embedding, we use the principle of symmetric criticality to obtain the existence of ground state solutions by assuming{f(x,t)}and{V(x)}are radial with respect toxand{f(x,t)=o(t)}as{t\rightarrow 0}.

Abstract In this article, we investigate multiplicity results for Choquard-Kirchhoff type equations, with Hardy-Littlewood-Sobolev critical exponents, $$\begin{array}{} \displaystyle -\left(a + b\int\limits_{\mathbb{R}^N} |\nabla u|^2 dx\right){\it\Delta} u = \alpha k(x)|u|^{q-2}u + \beta\left(\,\,\displaystyle\int\limits_{\mathbb{R}^N}\frac{|u(y)|^{2^*_{\mu}}}{|x-y|^{\mu}}dy\right)|u|^{2^*_{\mu}-2}u, \quad x \in \mathbb{R}^N, \end{array}$$ where a > 0, b ≥ 0, 0 < μ < N, N ≥ 3, α and β are positive real parameters, $\begin{array}{} 2^*_{\mu} = (2N-\mu)/(N-2) \end{array}$ is the critical exponent in the sense of Hardy-Littlewood-Sobolev inequality, k ∈ Lr(ℝN), with r = 2∗/(2∗ − q) if 1 < q < 2* and r = ∞ if q ≥ 2∗. According to the different range of q, we discuss the multiplicity of solutions to the above equation, using variational methods under suitable conditions. In order to overcome the lack of compactness, we appeal to the concentration compactness principle in the Choquard-type setting.
