Abstract: Given a bounded $C^2$ domain $Omegasubset{mathbbR}^d$ with $dgeq3$, we prove a sharp inequality which relates the perimeter of $partialOmega$ to the endpoint Gagliardo seminorm in $W^{r,2}(partialOmega)$, corresponding to $r=0$, of the normal vector field on $partialOmega$. The proof of the inequality relies on the use of Bessel potentials and a monotonicity formula; we also show that balls are the unique minimizers. For $1/2<r<1$, the Gagliardo seminorm of the normal vector field on $partialOmega$ is related to a fractional second fundamental form which arises in the study of nonlocal perimeters and nonlocal minimal surfaces.
