Abstract:Our aim is to investigate the existence of local maximizers for the singular Trudinger-Moser functional $$ F_{\alpha}(u) := \int_{\Omega} \frac{e^{\alpha u^2}-1}{|x|^{a}} \mathrm{d}x,\;\;\; u \in W_0^{1,2}(\Omega), $$ restricted to the manifold $ \Sigma=:\left\{u\in W_0^{1,2}(\Omega):\|\nabla u\|_2=1\right\},$ where $a\in [0, 2)$, $\alpha\ge 0$ and $\Omega$ denotes a smooth bounded domain $\mathbb{R}^2$ containing the origin. Adimurthi and Sandeep (Nonlinear. Differ. Equ. Appl. \textbf{13}, 2007) showed the following singular Trudinger-Moser type estimate \begin{equation}\nonumber
\sup_{u \in W_0^{1,2}(\Omega), \, \|\nabla u\|_{L^2} \le 1} F_\alpha(u)<\infty\;\;\;\mbox{iff}\;\;\alpha \leq \alpha_a:=2\pi(2-a). \end{equation} In particular, the functional $F_{\alpha}$ is bounded on $ \Sigma$ whenever $\alpha \le \alpha_a$. In addition, Csató and Roy (Calc. Var. Partial Differ. Equ., \textbf{54}, 2015) were able to ensure the existence of maximizers for $F_{\alpha}$ on $\Sigma$ when $\alpha\le \alpha_a$. In the supercritical regime $\alpha > \alpha_a$, the functional $F_{\alpha}$ becomes unbounded on $\Sigma$. Nevertheless, we prove that $F_{\alpha}$ still possesses local maximizers on $\Sigma$ beyond the critical threshold, at least for $\alpha > \alpha_a$ sufficiently close to $\alpha_a$. Our approach relies on a variational analysis near the set of maximizers associated with the critical parameter $\alpha_a$, together with a suitable local compactness argument. Our result improves and complements related findings due to Struwe (Ann. Inst. Henri Poincaré, Anal. Non Linéaire, \textbf{5}, 1988).
