Abstract: Frank and Lieb gave a new, rearrangement-free, proof of the sharp Hardy-Littlewood-Sobolev inequalities by exploiting their conformal covariance. Using this they gave new proofs of sharp Sobolev inequalities for the embeddings $W^{k,2}(mathbb{R}^n)hookrightarrow{L}^{frac2nn-2k}(mathbb{R}^n)$. We show that their argument gives a direct proof of the latter inequalities without passing through Hardy-Littlewood-Sobolev inequalities, and, moreover, a new proof of a sharp fully nonlinear Sobolev inequality involving the $sigm{a}_2$-curvature. Our argument relies on nice commutator identities deduced using the Fefferman-Graham ambient metric.
