This paper is devoted to the study of the two-dimensional Dirac-Coulomb operator in presence of an Aharonov-Bohm external magnetic potential. We characterize the highest intensity of the magnetic field for which a two-dimensional magnetic Hardy inequality holds. Up to this critical magnetic field, the operator admits a distinguished self-adjoint extension and there is a notion of ground state energy, defined as the lowest eigenvalue in the gap of the continuous spectrum.
In this work we establish trace Hardy and trace Hardy-Sobolev-Maz'ya inequalities with best Hardy constants, for domains satisfying suitable geometric assumptions such as mean convexity or convexity. We then use them to produce fractional Hardy-Sobolev-Maz'ya inequalities with best Hardy constants for various fractional Laplacians. In the case where the domain is the half space our results cover the full range of the exponent $s \in (0,1)$ of the fractional Laplacians. We answer in particular an open problem raised by Frank and Seiringer \cite{FS}.
We establish various Hardy-type inequalities for the Dirichlet Laplacian in perturbed periodically twisted tubes of non-circular cross-sections. We also state conjectures about the existence of such inequalities in more general regimes, which we support by heuristic and numerical arguments.
We proved some optimal Hardy inequalities in RNwhich is closely related to multipolar Schrödinger operators with mean-value type potentials, these sharp inequalities imply some multipolar type Heisenberg inequalities. We also obtained someimproved multipolar Hardy inequalities on bounded domains, moreover, we got the range of the best Hardy constant for a specific Hardy inequality.
We prove some Hardy-Dirac inequalities with two different weights including measure valued and Coulombic ones. Those inequalities are used to construct distinguished self-adjoint extensions of Dirac operators for a class of diagonal potentials related to the weights in the above mentioned inequalities.
In this paper we prove three differenttypes of the so-called many-particle Hardy inequalities. One of them is a "classical type" which is valid in any dimesnion $d\neq 2$. The second type deals with two-dimensional magnetic Dirichlet forms where every particle is supplied with a soplenoid. Finally we show that Hardy inequalities for Fermions hold true in all dimensions.
We prove analogues of the Lieb-Thirring and Hardy-Lieb-Thirring inequalities for many-body quantum systems with fractional kinetic operators and homogeneous interaction potentials, where no anti-symmetry on the wave functions is assumed. These many-body inequalities imply interesting one-body interpolation inequalities, and we show that the corresponding one- and many-body inequalities are actually equivalent in certain cases.
Distinguished selfadjoint extensions of Dirac operators are constructed for a class of potentials including Coulombic ones up to the critical case, $-|x|^{-1}$. The method uses Hardy-Dirac inequalities and quadratic form techniques.
We deal with Dirac operators with external homogeneous magnetic fields. Hardy-type inequalities related to these operators are investigated: for a suitable class of transversal magnetic fields, we prove a Hardy inequality with the same best constant as in the free case. This leaves naturally open an interesting question whether there exist magnetic fields for which a Hardy inequality with a better constant than the usual one, in connection with the well known diamagnetic phenomenon arising in non-relativistic models.
In this paper, we obtained the Dunkl analogy of classical Lp Hardy inequality for $p > N + 2γ$ with sharp constant $\left(\frac{p-N-2γ}{p}\right)^{p}$, where $2γ$ is the degree of weight function associated with Dunkl operators, and $L^p$ Hardy inequalities with distant function in some G-invariant domains. Moreover we proved two sharp Hardy-Rellich type inequalities for Dunkl operators.
In this work we establish trace Hardy-Sobolev-Maz'ya inequalities with best Hardy constants, for weakly mean convex domains. We accomplish this by obtaining a new weighted Hardy type estimate which is of independent inerest. We then produce Hardy-Sobolev-Maz'ya inequalities for the spectral half Laplacian. This covers a critical case left open in \cite{FMT1}.
We show how to deduce Rellich inequalities from Hardy inequalities on infinite graphs. Specifically, the obtained Rellich inequality gives an upper bound on a function by the Laplacian of the function in terms of weighted norms. These weights involve the Hardy weight and a function which satisfies an eikonal inequality. The results are proven first for Laplacians and are extended to Schrödinger operators afterwards.
We present a unified strategy to derive Hardy-Poincaré inequalities on bounded and unbounded domains. The approach allows proving a general Hardy-Poincaré inequality from which the classical Poincaré and Hardy inequalities immediately follow. The idea also applies to the more general context of variable exponent Sobolev spaces. The argument, concise and constructive, does not require a priori knowledge of compactness results and retrieves geometric information on the best constants.
In this article we first establish a complete characterization of Hardy's inequalities in $\mathbb{R}^n$ involving distances to different codimension subspaces. In particular the corresponding potentials have strong interior singularities. We then provide necessary and sufficient conditions for the validity of Hardy-Sobolev-Maz'ya inequalities with optimal Sobolev terms.
In this article we establish new improvements of the optimal Hardy inequality in the half space. We first add all possible linear combinations of Hardy type terms thus revealing the structure of this type of inequalities and obtaining best constants. We then add the critical Sobolev term and obtain necessary and sufficient conditions for the validity of Hardy-Sobolev-Maz'ya type inequalities.
For a bounded convex domain Ωin R^N we prove refined Hardy inequalities that involve the Hardy potential corresponding to the distance to the boundary of Ω, the volume of $Ω$, as well as a finite number of sharp logarithmic corrections. We also discuss the best constant of these inequalities.
General Hardy-Carleman type inequalities for Dirac operators are proved. New inequalities are derived involving particular traditionally used weight functions. In particular, a version of the Agmon inequality and Treve type inequalities are established. The case of a Dirac particle in a (potential) magnetic field is also considered. The methods used are direct and based on quadratic form techniques.
Let P be a linear, second order, elliptic operator satisfying a Hardy inequality with potential W (i.e. $P-W\geq0$) and best constant $α$. We give conditions so that the spectrum of $W^{-1}P$ is $[α,\infty)$. We apply this to several well-known Hardy inequalities: (improved) Hardy inequalities on a bounded convex domain with potential involving the distance to the boundary, and Hardy inequalities for minimal submanifolds of the Euclidean space.
In this paper we establish a Hardy inequality for Laplace operators with Robin boundary conditions. For convex domains, in particular, we show explicitly how the corresponding Hardy weight depends on the coefficient of the Robin boundary conditions. We also study several extensions to non-convex and unbounded domains.
We give improvements and generalizations of both the classical Hardy inequality and the geometric Hardy inequality based on the divergence theorem. Especially, our improved Hardy type inequality derives both two Hardy type inequalities with best constants. Besides, we improve two Rellich type inequalities by using the improved Hardy type inequality.
We consider a general class of sharp $L^p$ Hardy inequalities in $\R^N$ involving distance from a surface of general codimension $1\leq k\leq N$. We show that we can succesively improve them by adding to the right hand side a lower order term with optimal weight and best constant. This leads to an infinite series improvement of $L^p$ Hardy inequalities.
We obtain upper bounds on the heat content and on the torsional rigidity of a complete Riemannian manifold M, assuming a generalized Hardy inequality for the Dirichlet Laplacian on M.
We present a unified approach to improved $L^p$ Hardy inequalities in $\R^N$. We consider Hardy potentials that involve either the distance from a point, or the distance from the boundary, or even the intermediate case where distance is taken from a surface of codimension $1<k<N$. In our main result we add to the right hand side of the classical Hardy inequality, a weighted $L^p$ norm with optimal weight and best constant. We also prove non-homogeneous improved Hardy inequalities, where the right hand side involves weighted L^q norms, q \neq p.
We obtain Sobolev inequalities for the Schrodinger operator -Δ-V, where V has critical behaviour V(x)=((N-2)/2)^2|x|^{-2} near the origin. We apply these inequalities to obtain pointwise estimates on the associated heat kernel, improving upon earlier results.
In this note we give several characterisations of weights for two-weight Hardy inequalities to hold on general metric measure spaces possessing polar decompositions. Since there may be no differentiable structure on such spaces, the inequalities are given in the integral form in the spirit of Hardy's original inequality. We give examples obtaining new weighted Hardy inequalities on $\mathbb R^n$, on homogeneous groups, on hyperbolic spaces, and on Cartan-Hadamard manifolds.
We study the Hardy identities and inequalities on Cartan-Hadamard manifolds using the notion of a Bessel pair. These Hardy identities offer significantly more information on the existence/nonexistence of the extremal functions of the Hardy inequalities. These Hardy inequalities are in the spirit of Brezis-Vázquez in the Euclidean spaces. As direct consequences, we establish several Hardy type inequalities that provide substantial improvements as well as simple understandings to many known Hardy inequalities and Hardy-Poincaré-Sobolev type inequalities on hyperbolic spaces in the literature.
In this paper, we present the geometric Hardy inequalities on the starshaped sets in the Carnot groups. Also, we obtain the geometric Hardy inequalities on half-spaces for general vector fields.
The previous "Polynomial Capacities, Poincare' type inequalities and Spectral synthesis in Sobolev space" is a prerequisite. A parallell reading is recommended.
In this paper we establish several Hardy and Hardy-Sobolev type inequalities with homogeneous weights on the first orthant $\displaystyle \mathbb{R}_{*}^n:=\{(x_1, \ldots, x_n):x_1>0, \ldots, x_n>0 \}$. We then use some of them to produce Hardy type inequalities with remainder terms. Furthermore, we obtain some interpolation inequalities and Maz'ya type inequalities with remainder terms with the help of Maz'ya inequality and Sobolev inequality of Cabré and Ros-Orton on the upper half space $\mathbb{R}_{+}^n:=\{x=(x_1, \ldots, x_n)|\, x_n>0 \}$.
In this note we prove the reverse Stein-Weiss inequality on general homogeneous Lie groups. The obtained results extend previously known inequalities. Special properties of homogeneous norms and the reverse integral Hardy inequality play key roles in our proofs. Also, we show reverse Hardy, Hardy-Littlewood-Sobolev, Lp-Sobolev and Lp-Caffarelli-Kohn-Nirenberg inequalities on homogeneous groups.
We prove a Hardy-Sobolev-Maz'ya inequality for arbitrary domains Ω\subset\R^N with a constant depending only on the dimension N\geq 3. In particular, for convex domains this settles a conjecture by Filippas, Maz'ya and Tertikas. As an application we derive Hardy-Lieb-Thirring inequalities for eigenvalues of Schrödinger operators on domains.
This is the first part of our research on certain sharp Hardy-Sobolev inequalities and the related elliptic equations. In this part we shall establish some sharp weighted Hardy-Sobolev inequalities whose weights are distance functions to the boundary.
We obtain optimal generalized versions of Hardy inequalities, which as special cases contain Hardy's inequality and Hardy's inequality involving the distance function to the boundary of $ Ω$. In addition we obtain neccesary and sufficient conditions to add improvements in the form of non negative potentials.
We introduce a geometric approach of integral curves for functional inequalities involving directional derivatives in the general context of differentiable manifolds that are equipped with a volume form. We focus on Hardy-type inequalities and the explicit optimal Hardy potentials that are induced by this method. We then apply the method to retrieve some known inequalities and establish some new ones.
We prove a family of improved multipolar Poincaré-Hardy inequalities on Cartan-Hadamard manifolds. For suitable configurations of poles, these inequalities yield an improved multipolar Hardy inequality and an improved multipolar Poincaré inequality such that the critical unipolar singular mass is reached at any pole.
In this paper, we establish the weighted anisotropic Hardy and Rellich type inequalities with boundary terms for general (real-valued) vector fields. As consequences, we derive new as well as many of the fundamental Hardy and Rellich type inequalities which are known in different settings.
In this paper we present a unified simple approach to anisotropic Hardy inequalities in various settings. We consider Hardy inequalities which involve a Finsler distance from a point or from the boundary of a domain. The sharpness and the non-attainability of the constants in the inequalities are also proved.
We study some Hardy-type inequalities involving a general norm in $R^n$ and an anisotropic distance function to the boundary. The case of the optimality of the constants is also addressed.
We investigate the existence of extremals for Hardy-Sobolev inequalities involving the Dirichlet fractional Laplacian of order s, 0<s<1, on half-spaces.
In this paper, we prove Hardy-Leray and Rellich-Leray inequalities for curl-free vector fields with sharp constants. This complements the former work by Costin-Maz'ya \cite{Costin-Mazya} on the sharp Hardy-Leray inequality for axisymmetric divergence-free vector fields.
It is known that classical Hardy and Sobolev inequalities hold when the exponent $p$ and the dimension $N$ satisfy $p < N < \infty$. In this note, we consider two limits of Hardy and Sobolev inequalities as $p \nearrow N$ and $N \nearrow \infty$ in some sense.
In this paper we establish improved Hardy and Rellich type inequalities on Riemannian manifold $M$. Furthermore, we also obtain sharp constant for the improved Hardy inequality and explicit constant for the Rellich inequality on hyperbolic space $\mathbb{H}^n$.
The aim of this paper is to obtain new Hardy inequalities with double singular weights - at an interior point and on the boundary of the domain. These inequalities give us the possibility to derive estimates from below of the first eigenvalue of the p-Laplacian with Dirichlet boundary conditions.
In this paper, we consider the first order Hardy inequalities using simple equalities. This basic setting not only permits to derive quickly many well-known Hardy inequalities with optimal constants, but also supplies improved or new estimates in miscellaneous situations, such as multipolar potential, the exponential weight, hyperbolic space, Heisenberg group, the edge Laplacian, or the Grushin type operator.
Firstly, this paper establishes useful forms of the remainder term of Hardy-type inequalities on general domains where the weights are functions of the distance to the boundary. For weakly mean convex domains we use the resulting identities to establish nonexistence of extremizers for and improve known sharp Hardy inequalities. Secondly, we establish geometrically interesting remainders for the Davies-Hardy-Tidblom inequalities for the mean distance function, as well as generalize and improve several Hardy type inequalities in the spirit of Brezis and Marcus and spectral estimates of Davies.

In this paper we study Hardy and Poincaré inequalities and their weak versions for quadratic forms satisfying the first Beurling-Deny criterion. We employ these inequalities to establish a criticality theory for such forms.
We prove fractional Sobolev-Poincaré inequalities, capacitary versions of fractional Poincaré inequalities, and pointwise and localized fractional Hardy inequalities in a metric space equipped with a doubling measure. Our results generalize and extend earlier work where such inequalities have been considered in the Euclidean spaces or in the non-fractional setting in metric spaces. The results concerning pointwise and localized variants of fractional Hardy inequalities are new even in the Euclidean case.
This paper studies the existence of extremal problems for the Hardy-Littlewood-Sobolev inequalities on compact manifolds without boundary via Concentration-Compactness principle.
This paper is primarily devoted to a class of interpolation inequalities of Hardy and Rellich types on the Heisenberg group $\mathbb{H}^n$. Consequently, several weighted Hardy type, Heisenberg-Pauli-Weyl uncertainty principle and Hardy-Rellich type inqualities are established on $\mathbb{H}^n$. Moreover, new weighted Sobolev type embeddings are derived. Finally, an integral inequality for vector fields in a domain of the Heisenberg group is obtained, leading to several specific weighted Hardy type inequalities by making careful choices of vector fields.
