"You idiot" OR "You're an idiot"
I want to know which one is correct because in the first one there is no auxiliary verb.
As I know if I wanted to say that someone is like someone/thing I'll say
"He is a hero."
So in the previous example we've used an auxiliary verb before a noun.

"You idiot" is not a sentence. It's a noun phrase headed by the noun "idiot". "You" is a personal determinative functioning as a determiner.
"You are an idiot" is a complete sentence.
