Abstract

For p(1,)p\in (1,\infty) and αR\alpha\in\mathbb{R}, we consider measurable functions gg on SN1\mathbb{S}^{N-1} that satisfy the following weighted Hardy inequality: \begin{equation}\label{abs} \int_{\mathbb{R}^N}\frac{ g (x/|x|)}{|x|^{p+\alpha}}|u(x)|^p dx \leq C\int_{\mathbb{R}^N}\frac{|\nabla u(x)|^p}{|x|^\alpha} dx, \quad\forall\,u\in \mathcal{C}_c^\infty(\mathbb{R}^N), \end{equation} for some constant C>0C>0. Depending on NN, pp, and α\alpha, we identify suitable function spaces for gg so that \eqref{abs} holds. The constant obtained is sharp, in the sense that it is sharp when g1g \equiv 1. Furthermore, we establish the sharp fractional Hardy inequality with homogeneous weights.
