Greens functions of Paneitz and GJMS operators on hyperbolic spaces and sharp Hardy-Sobolev-Mazya inequalities on half spaces


Abstract in English

Using the Fourier analysis techniques on hyperbolic spaces and Greens function estimates, we confirm in this paper the conjecture given by the same authors in [43]. Namely, we prove that the sharp constant in the $frac{n-1}{2}$-th order Hardy-Sobolev-Mazya inequality in the upper half space of dimension $n$ coincides with the best $frac{n-1}{2}$-th order Sobolev constant when $n$ is odd and $ngeq9$ (See Theorem 1.6). We will also establish a lower bound of the coefficient of the Hardy term for the $k-$th order Hardy-Sobolev-Mazya inequality in upper half space in the remaining cases of dimension $n$ and $k$-th order derivatives (see Theorem 1.7). Precise expressions and optimal bounds for Greens functions of the operator $ -Delta_{mathbb{H}}-frac{(n-1)^{2}}{4}$ on the hyperbolic space $mathbb{B}^n$ and operators of the product form are given, where $frac{(n-1)^{2}}{4}$ is the spectral gap for the Laplacian $-Delta_{mathbb{H}}$ on $mathbb{B}^n$. Finally, we give the precise expression and optimal pointwise bound of Greens function of the Paneitz and GJMS operators on hyperbolic space, which are of their independent interest (see Theorem 1.10).
