We prove a sharp Hardy inequality for fractional integrals for functions that are supported on a general domain. The constant is the same as the one for the half-space and hence our result settles a recent conjecture of Bogdan and Dyda.
We consider a version of the fractional Sobolev inequality in domains and study whether the best constant in this inequality is attained. For the half-space and a large class of bounded domains we show that a minimizer exists, which is in contrast to the classical Sobolev inequalities in domains.
We derive Hardy type inequalities for a large class of sub-elliptic operators that belong to the class of $Delta_lambda$-Laplacians and find explicit values for the constants involved. Our results generalize previous inequalities obtained for Grushin type operators $$ Delta_{x}+ |x|^{2alpha}Delta_{y},qquad (x,y)inmathbb{R}^{N_1}timesmathbb{R}^{N_2}, alphageq 0, $$ which were proved to be sharp.
We set a framework for the study of Hardy spaces inherited by complements of analytic hypersurfaces in domains with a prior Hardy space structure. The inherited structure is a filtration, various aspects of which are studied in specific settings. For punctured planar domains, we prove a generalization of a famous rigidity lemma of Kerzman and Stein. A stabilization phenomenon is observed for egg domains. Finally, using proper holomorphic maps, we derive a filtration of Hardy spaces for certain power-generalized Hartogs triangles, although these domains fall outside the scope of the original framework.
We prove a Hardy-type inequality for the gradient of the Heisenberg Laplacian on open bounded convex polytopes on the first Heisenberg Group. The integral weight of the Hardy inequality is given by the distance function to the boundary measured with respect to the Carnot-Carath{e}odory metric. The constant depends on the number of hyperplanes, given by the boundary of the convex polytope, which are not orthogonal to the hyperplane $x_3=0$.
