Abstract

In this article, we study the Schrödinger–Poisson–Slater type equation with the critical growth and zero mass:

$$\begin{aligned} {\left\{ \begin{array}{ll} {-\Delta } u+\phi u=\mu |u|^{p-2}u+u^5, \ \ \ \ x\in {\mathbb {R}}^{3},\\ {-\Delta } \phi =u^2, \ \ \ \ x\in {\mathbb {R}}^{3}, \end{array}\right. } \end{aligned}$$

where \(3<p<6\) and \(\mu >0\). By combining a new perturbation method and the mountain pass theorem, Liu et al. [J. Diff. Eq., 266 (2019), 5912–5941] prove that the above equation has at least one positive ground state solution for \(p \in (4, 6)\) and \(\mu >0\) or \(p \in (3, 4]\) if \(\mu \) is sufficiently large. By using a much simpler method than the ones used in the above mentioned paper, together with subtle estimates and analyses, we obtain better results on the existence for a ground state solution of Nehari-Pohozaev type.
