Abstract

We investigate the quantitative stability of the nonlocal Sobolev inequality in Heisenberg group \begin{equation*}\label{non-Sobolev} C_{HL}(Q,\mu) \left(\int_{\mathbb{H}^{n}}\int_{\mathbb{H}^{n}}\frac{|u(\xi)|^{Q^{\ast}_{\mu}}|u(\eta)|^{Q^{\ast}_{\mu}}}{|\eta^{-1}\xi|^{\mu}}\mathrm{d}\xi\mathrm{d}\eta\right)^{\frac{1}{Q^{\ast}_{\mu}}}\leq \int_{\mathbb{H}^{n}}|\nabla_{H}u|^{2}d\xi,\qquad\forall u\in S^{1,2}(\mathbb{H}^{n}), \end{equation*} where Q=2n+2Q=2n+2 is the homogeneous dimension of the Hiesenberg group Hn\mathbb{H}^{n}, μ(0,Q)\mu\in(0,Q) and Qμ=2QμQ2Q^{\ast}_{\mu}=\frac{2Q-\mu}{Q-2} are two parameters corresponding to the Hardy-Littlewood-Sobolev inequality and Folland-Stein inequality on Heisenberg group, CHL(Q,μ)C_{HL}(Q,\mu) is the sharp constant of the nonlocal-Sobolev inequality. Specifically, when uu is close to solving the Euler equation \begin{equation*}\label{non-critical-n} -\Delta_{H} u=\left(\int_{\mathbb{H}^{n}}\frac{|u(\eta)|^{Q^{\ast}_{\mu}}}{|\eta^{-1}\xi|^{\mu}}\mathrm{d}\eta\right)|u|^{Q^{\ast}_{\mu}-2}u,\qquad\xi,\eta\in\mathbb{H}^{n}, \end{equation*} the natural distance between uu and the the set of optimizers Uλ,ζU_{\lambda,\zeta}, defined as δ(u)=HuHUλ,ζL2\delta(u)=||\nabla_{H}u-\nabla_{H}U_{\lambda,\zeta}||_{L^{2}}, can be linearly bounded by the functional derivative term \begin{equation*} \Gamma(u)=\left\|\Delta_{H}u+\left(\int_{\mathbb{H}^{n}}\frac{|u(\eta)|^{Q^{\ast}_{\mu}}}{|\eta^{-1}\xi|^{\mu}}\mathrm{d}\eta\right)|u|^{Q^{\ast}_{\mu}-2}u\right\|_{(S^{1,2}(\mathbb{H}^{n}))^{-1}}. \end{equation*} And for the weakly interacting bubble solutions i=1νUλi,ζi\mathop{\sum}\limits_{i=1}^{\nu}U_{\lambda_{i},\zeta_{i}}, the aforementioned quantitative stability result holds when the dimension Q=4Q=4.
