Abstract: We consider the semilinear Lane-Emden problem �egin{equation}label{problemAbstract} left{�egin{array}{lr}-Delta u= |u|^{p-1}uqquad mbox{ in }B u=0qquadqquadqquadmbox{ on }partial B end{array} ight. ag{mathcalEp} end{equation} where B is the unit ball of mathbbRN, Ngeq2, centered at the origin and 1<p<pS, with pS=+infty if N=2 and pS=fracN+2N2 if Ngeq3. Our main result is to prove that in dimension N=2 the Morse index of the least energy sign-changing radial solution up of eqref{problemAbstract} is exactly 12 if p is sufficiently large. As an intermediate step we compute explicitly the first eigenvalue of a limit weighted problem in mathbbRN in any dimension Ngeq2.
