Abstract: We prove some basic inequalities relating the Gagliardo-Nirenberg seminorms of a symmetric function $u$ on $mathbb{R}^n$ and of its perturbation $uvarph{i}_{m}u$, where $varph{i}_{m}u$ is a suitably chosen eigenfunction of the Laplace-Beltrami operator on the sphere $mathbb{S}^{n-1}$, thus providing a technical but rather powerful tool to detect symmetry breaking and multiplicity phenomena in variational equations driven by the fractional Laplace operator. A concrete application to a problem related to the fractional Caffarelli-Kohn-Nirenberg inequality is given.
