Symmetry of extremals of functional inequalities via spectral estimates for linear operators (Q2872274)

The extremals of the Caffarelli-Kohn-Nirenberg inequalities NEWLINE\[NEWLINE \Big(\int_{\mathbb R^n} \frac{|w|^p}{|x|^{bp}}\;dx\Big)^{2/p} \leq c_{a,b}^n \int_{\mathbb R^n} \frac{|\bigtriangledown w|^2}{|x|^{2\alpha}}\;dx\;,\quad n\geq 2\;, NEWLINE\]NEWLINE are studied. New symmetry results are established.
