Abstract

Let n,m1n,m\ge 1, α(0,1)\alpha\in(0,1), and β0\beta\ge 0. For the Grushin-type operator L=x ⁣ ⁣(x2αx)+x2βΔyon Rn×Rm, L=-\nabla_x\!\cdot\!\bigl(|x|^{2\alpha}\nabla_x\bigr)+|x|^{2\beta}\Delta_y \qquad \text{on } \mathbb R^n\times \mathbb R^m, we prove the isoperimetric inequality on the associated Grushin space. Equivalently, if Q=n+m(β+1α)1α, Q=\frac{n+m(\beta+1-\alpha)}{1-\alpha}, then ΩQ1QCP(Ω) |\Omega|^{\frac{Q-1}{Q}}\le C\,P(\Omega) for every smooth bounded domain ΩRn+m\Omega\subset \mathbb R^{n+m}.
