Abstract

In the Euclidean space Rd\mathbb{R}^d, the sharp classical Sobolev inequality is equivalent by conformal invariance to a Sobolev inequality on the hyperbolic space Hd\mathbb{H}^d. This inequality is sharp in dimension d4d\geq 4, but it is not in dimension d=3d=3 by results of Benguria, Frank and Loss, as well as Mancini and Sandeep. In this article, we investigate a similar phenomenon for the Caffarelli-Kohn-Nirenberg inequality and its hyperbolic analogue. In our setting, the condition for improving the inequality reads n[3,4)n\in [3,4), where nn is an ``effective dimension''.
