Uniqueness and nondegeneracy of ground states for 2d-nonlinear scalar field equations with point interaction

We study uniqueness and nondegeneracy of ground states for nonlinear scalar field equations in two dimensions with a point interaction at the origin. It is known that the all ground states are radial, positive, and decreasing functions. In this paper we prove the uniqueness of positive radial solutions by a method of Pohožaev identities. As a corollary, we obtain the uniqueness of ground states. Moreover, by a variational and ODE technique, we show that the ground state is a nondegenerate critical point of the action in the energy space.
