On horizontal Hardy, Rellich, Caffarelli-Kohn-Nirenberg and \(p\)-sub-Laplacian inequalities on stratified groups (Q729928)

The authors present a version of horizontal weighted Hardy-Rellich type and Caffarelli-Kohn-Nirenberg type inequalities on stratified groups and study some of their consequences. Precisely: let \(\mathbb G\) be a stratified group with \(N\) being the dimension of the first stratum, and let \(\alpha, \beta \in \mathbb R. \) Then for all complex-valued functions \(f\in C_0^\infty(\mathbb G\setminus \{x'=0\})\) and \(1<p<\infty\) \[ \frac{|N-\gamma|}{p}\left\|\frac{f}{|x'|^{\frac{\gamma}p}} \right\|^p_{L^p(\mathbb G)}\leq \left\|\frac1{|x'|^\alpha}\nabla_H f \right\|_{L^p(\mathbb G)}\left\| \frac{f}{|x'|^{\frac{\beta}{p-1}}} \right\|^{p-1}_{L^p(\mathbb G)} \] where \(\gamma=\alpha+\beta+1.\) These results reflect many results previously known in special cases. Moreover, a new simple proof of the Badiale-Tarantello conjecture on the best constant of a Hardy type inequality is provided. A family of Poincaré inequalities as well as inequalities involving the weighted and unweighted \(p\)-sub-Laplacians are also obtained.
