Abstract: We establish sharp Sobolev inequalities of order four on Euclidean d-balls for d greater than or equal to four. When d=4, our inequality generalizes the classical second order Lebedev-Milin inequality on Euclidean 2-balls. Our method relies on the use of scattering theory on hyperbolic d-balls. As an application, we charcaterize the extremals of the main term in the log-determinant formula corresponding to the conformal Laplacian coupled with the boundary Robin operator on Euclidean 4-balls.

Review text

In this paper, the authors establish sharp trace Sobolev inequalities of order four on Euclidean \(d\)-balls for \(d\geq 4\). When \(d=4\), their inequality generalizes the classical second-order Lebedev-Milin inequality on Euclidean 2-balls. Their method relies on the use of scattering theory on hyperbolic \(d\)-balls. As an application, they characterize the extremal metric of the main term in the log-determinant formula corresponding to the conformal Laplacian coupled with the boundary Robin operator on Euclidean 4-balls. Note that this metric is not the flat one on the ball.
