Sharp weighted isoperimetric and Caffarelli-Kohn-Nirenberg inequalities (Q831228)

This paper is aimed to set up the sharp versions together with their optimizers of several weighted functional geometric inequalities (such as the isoperimetric and Sobolev inequalities, the Gagliardo-Nirenberg inequalities and the Caffarelli-Kohn-Nirenberg inequalities), using the existence of the Brenier map from the theory of optimal mass transport. The class of weights includes all positive smooth functions \(\omega\) such that \(\omega^{1/\alpha}\) is concave and positively homogeneous of degree 1 for some \(\alpha>0\). Remarkably, although the weights are not radial, the optimizers of these sharp inequalities are radially symmetric.
