Abstract: We consider the fractional Laplacian operator $(-Delta{)}^s$ (let $sin(0,1)$) on Euclidean space and investigate the validity of the classical integration-by-parts formula that connects the $L^2(mathbb{R}^d)$ scalar product between a function and its fractional Laplacian to the nonlocal norm of the fractional Sobolev space $dot{H}^s(mathbb{R}^d)$. More precisely, we focus on functions belonging to some weighted $L^2$ space whose fractional Laplacian belongs to another weighted $L^2$ space: we prove and disprove the validity of the integration-by-parts formula depending on the behaviour of the weight $ho(x)$ at infinity. The latter is assumed to be like a power both near the origin and at infinity (the two powers being possibly different). Our results have direct consequences for the self-adjointness of the linear operator formally given by $h{o}^{-1}(-Delta{)}^s$. The generality of the techniques developed allows us to deal with weighted $L^p$ spaces as well.
