In this paper we derive a variety of functional inequalities for general homogeneous invariant hypoelliptic differential operators on nilpotent Lie groups. The obtained inequalities include Hardy, Rellich, Hardy-Littllewood-Sobolev, Galiardo-Nirenberg, Caffarelli-Kohn-Nirenberg and Trudinger-Moser inequalities. Some of these estimates have been known in the case of the sub-Laplacians, however, for more general hypoelliptic operators almost all of them appear to be new as no approaches for obtaining such estimates have been available. Moreover, we obtain sever
In this paper we study the existence of maximizers for two families of interpolation inequalities, namely a generalized Gagliardo-Nirenberg inequality and a new inequality involving the Riesz energy. Two basic tools in our argument are a generalization of Liebs Translation Lemma and a Riesz energy version of the Brezis--Lieb lemma.
We consider the inequalities of Gagliardo-Nirenberg and Sobolev in R^d, formulated in terms of the Laplacian Delta and of the fractional powers D^n := (-Delta)^(n/2) with real n >= 0; we review known facts and present novel results in this area. After illustrating the equivalence between these two inequalities and the relations between the corresponding sharp constants and maximizers, we focus the attention on the L^2 case where, for all sufficiently regular f : R^d -> C, the norm || D^j f||_{L^r} is bounded in terms of || f ||_{L^2} and || D^n f ||_{L^2} for 1/r = 1/2 - (theta n - j)/d, and suitable values of j,n,theta (with j,n possibly noninteger). In the special cases theta = 1 and theta = j/n + d/2 n (i.e., r = + infinity), related to previous results of Lieb and Ilyin, the sharp constants and the maximizers can be found explicitly; we point out that the maximizers can be expressed in terms of hypergeometric, Fox and Meijer functions. For the general L^2 case, we present two kinds of upper bounds on the sharp constants: the first kind is suggested by the literature, the second one is an alternative proposal of ours, often more precise than the first one. We also derive two kinds of lower bounds. Combining all the available upper and lower bounds, the Gagliardo-Nirenberg and Sobolev sharp constants are confined to quite narrow intervals. Several examples are given.
In this note we continue giving the characterisation of weights for two-weight Hardy inequalities to hold on general metric measure spaces possessing polar decompositions. Since there may be no differentiable structure on such spaces, the inequalities are given in the integral form in the spirit of Hardys original inequality. This is a continuation of our paper [M. Ruzhansky and D. Verma. Hardy inequalities on metric measure spaces, Proc. R. Soc. A., 475(2223):20180310, 2018] where we treated the case $pleq q$. Here the remaining range $p>q$ is considered, namely, $0<q<p$, $1<p<infty.$ We give examples obtaining new weighted Hardy inequalities on $mathbb R^n$, on homogeneous groups, on hyperbolic spaces, and on Cartan-Hadamard manifolds. We note that doubling conditions are not required for our analysis.
We survey some classical norm inequalities of Hardy, Kallman, Kato, Kolmogorov, Landau, Littlewood, and Rota of the type [ |A f|_{mathcal{X}}^2 leq C |f|_{mathcal{X}} big|A^2 fbig|_{mathcal{X}}, quad f in dombig(A^2big), ] and recall that under exceedingly stronger hypotheses on the operator $A$ and/or the Banach space $mathcal{X}$, the optimal constant $C$ in these inequalities diminishes from $4$ (e.g., when $A$ is the generator of a $C_0$ contraction semigroup on a Banach space $mathcal{X}$) all the way down to $1$ (e.g., when $A$ is a symmetric operator on a Hilbert space $mathcal{H}$). We also survey some results in connection with an extension of the Hardy-Littlewood inequality involving quadratic forms as initiated by Everitt.
