A general approach to weighted Rellich type inequalities on Carnot groups (Q1750841)

The general weighted Rellich type inequality is obtained. Namely, the following theorem is proved. \par Theorem. Let $a\in C^2(\mathbb{G})$ and $b\in L_{\mathrm{loc}}^1(\mathbb{G})$ be nonnegative functions, and $\theta \in C^{\infty}(\mathbb{G})$ be a positive function such that \[ \Delta_\mathbb{G} \left( a|\Delta_\mathbb{G} \theta |^{p-2} \Delta_\mathbb{G} \theta\right) \geq b\theta^{p-1} \quad \text{and} \quad -\Delta_\mathbb{G} \theta >0 \] almost everywhere in a general Carnot group $\mathbb{G}$. Then the inequality \[ \int_\mathbb{G} a|\Delta_\mathbb{G} u |^p dx \geq \int_\mathbb{G} b|u|^p dx \] is valid for every $u\in C^{\infty}_0 (\mathbb{G})$ and $p>1$. \par From that theorem known weighted Rellich type inequalities follow and new results can also be obtained. The following theorem for a polarizable Carnot group is proved. \par Theorem. Let $\mathbb{G}$ be a polarizable Carnot group with homogeneous norm $N=\varphi^{\frac{1}{2-Q}}$ and let $Qp > Q+\alpha > p >1$, $\alpha \in \mathbb{R}$. Then for every $u \in C_0^{\infty } (\mathbb{G}) \backslash \{ 0\})$ one has \[ \int_\mathbb{G} \frac{N^{\alpha}}{|\nabla_\mathbb{G} N|^p} |\Delta_\mathbb{G} u|^p dx \geq \left(\frac{Qp-Q-\alpha}{p} \right)^p \int_\mathbb{G} N^{\alpha} \frac{|\nabla_\mathbb{G}u|^p}{N^p} dx. \] Furthermore, the constant $\left(\frac{Qp-Q-\alpha}{p} \right)^p$ is sharp.
