In this paper, we consider the following Schrödinger equation with singular potential:
$ \begin{equation*} \begin{aligned} -\Delta u + V(|x|)u = f(u),\ \, x\in \mathbb{R}^{N}, \end{aligned} \end{equation*} $
where
$ N\geqslant 3 $
,
$ V $
 is a singular potential with parameter
$ \alpha\in(0,2)\cup(2,\infty) $
, the nonlinearity
$ f $
 involving critical exponent. First, by using the refined Sobolev inequality, we establish a Lions-type theorem. Second, applying Lions-type theorem and variational methods, we show the existence of ground state solution for above equation. Our result partially extends the results in Badiale-Rolando [Atti Accad. Naz. Lincei Rend. Lincei Mat. Appl. 17 (2006)], and Su-Wang-Willem [Commun. Contemp. Math. 9 (2007)].
Keywords: Schrödinger equation, Lions-type theorem, singular potential, critical exponent.
