Abstract In 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 ℝn{\mathbb{R}^{n}}. Then we prove a compact embedding theorem, which states that W1,n⁢(ℝn){W^{1,n}(\mathbb{R}^{n})} is compactly embedded into Lp⁢(ℝn,|x|-β⁢d⁢x){L^{p}(\mathbb{R}^{n},|x|^{-\beta}\,dx)} for p≥n{p\geq n} and 0<β<n{0<\beta<n}. As an application of the above results, we establish sufficient conditions for the existence of ground state solutions to the following n-Laplace equation with critical nonlinearity: ($*$) { - div ⁡ ( | ∇ ⁡ u | n - 2 ⁢ ∇ ⁡ u ) + V ⁢ ( x ) ⁢ | u | n - 2 ⁢ u = f ⁢ ( x , u ) | x | β , u ∈ W 1 , n ⁢ ( ℝ n ) , u ≥ 0 , {}\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)≥c0{V(x)\geq c_{0}} for some positive constant c0{c_{0}} and f⁢(x,t){f(x,t)} behaves like exp⁡(α⁢|t|nn-1){\exp(\alpha|t|^{\frac{n}{n-1}})} as t→+∞{t\rightarrow+\infty}. This work improves substantially related results found in the literature.
