Abstract: In this paper we deduce a formula for the fractional Laplace operator (Delta)s on radially symmetric functions useful for some applications. We give a criterion of subharmonicity associated with (Delta)s, and apply it to a problem related to the Hessian inequality of Sobolev type: int_{mathbb{R}^n}|(-Delta)^{frac{k}{k+1}} u|^{k+1} dx le C int_{mathbb{R}^n} - u , F_k[u] , dx, where Fk is the k-Hessian operator on mathbbRn, 1lek<fracn2, under some restrictions on a k-convex function u. In particular, we show that the class of u for which the above inequality was established in cite{FFV} contains the extremal functions for the Hessian Sobolev inequality of X.-J. Wang cite{W1}. This is proved using logarithmic convexity of the Gaussian ratio of hypergeometric functions which might be of independent interest.
