Abstract: We address the question of attainability of the best constant in the following Hardy-Sobolev inequality on a smooth domain $Omega$ of mathbb{R}^n: ${\displaystyle }$ mu_s (Omega) := inf {int_{Omega}| abla u|^2 dx; u in {H_{1,0}^2(Omega)} hbox{and} int_{Omega} frac {|u|^{2^{star}}}{|x|^s} dx =1}${\displaystyle }$ when 0<s<2, 2^*:=2^*(s)=frac{2(n-s)}{n-2}, and when 0 is on the boundary $partialOmega$. This question is closely related to the geometry of $partialOmega$, as we extend here the main result obtained in [15] by proving that at least in dimension n >= 4, the negativity of the mean curvature of $partialOmega$ at 0 is sufficient to ensure the attainability of $m{u}_s(Omega)$. Key ingredients in our proof are the identification of symmetries enjoyed by the extremal functions correrresponding to the best constant in half-space, as well as a fine analysis of the asymptotic behaviour of appropriate minimizing sequences. The result holds true also in dimension 3 but the more involved proof will be dealt with in a forthcoming paper [17].
