Extremals for the Sobolev inequality on the seven-dimensional quaternionic Heisenberg group and the quaternionic contact Yamabe problem (Q983898)

This paper gives a complete solution to the quaternionic contact Yamabe problem on the seven-dimensional sphere. It poses explicitly the Sobolev inequality on the seven-dimensional Heisenberg group and gives the best constant in the \(L^2\) Folland-Stein embedding theorem. This conclusion will conduce to study similar problems in other (Riemannian) spaces of \(n\) dimensions.
