Abstract: The Hardy Inequality (HI) for potentials with countably many singularities of the form

V = s u m_{k i n m a t h b f Z} f r a c 1 | x - a_{k} |^{2}

is not a trivial issue. In principle, the more singular poles are, the less the Hardy constant is: it is well-known that in all the existing results about the HI with finite number of singularities the best constants converge to 0 with the number

n

of singularities going to infinity. In this note we provide an example of nontrivial HI in right cylinders of fixed radius

R > 0

in

m a t h b f R^{d}

, for a potential

V

defined above having the singularities

{a_{k}}_{k i n m a t h b f Z}

uniformly distributed on the axis of the cylinders. For this example we prove that an upper bound for the Hardy constant is

(d - 2)^{2} / 4

, the clasical Hardy constant in

m a t h b f R^{d}

corresponding to one singular potential. We also prove positive lower bounds of the Hardy constant which allow to deduce that the asymptotic behavior as

R o 0

of the Hardy constant coincides with

(d - 2)^{2} / 4

. The proof of the main result lies on using a nice identity due to Allegretto and Huang (Theorems 1.1, 2.1 in reference [1]) for particularly well chosen test functions.
