Abstract: We study sharp second order inequalities of Caffarelli-Kohn-Nirenberg type in the euclidian space $mathbb{R}^N$, where $N$ denotes the dimension. This analysis is equivalent to the study of uncertainty principles for special classes of vector fields. In particular, we show that when switching from scalar fields $u:r^{n}ightarrowmathbbC$ to vector fields of the form $vecu:=ablaU$ ($U$ being a scalar field) the best constant in the Heisenberg Uncertainty Principle (HUP) increases from $frac{N}^{2}4$ to $frac(N+2{)}^{2}4$, and the optimal constant in the Hydrogen Uncertainty Principle (HyUP) improves from $fracleft(N-1ight{)}^{2}4$ to $frac(N+1{)}^{2}4$. As a consequence of our results we answer to the open question of Maz'ya (Integral Equations Operator Theory 2018) in the case $N=2$ regarding the HUP for divergence free vector fields.
