Abstract

Let K\RNK\subset \RN be a convex body containing the origin in its interior, and let \hK\hK{\cdot} be its Minkowski functional. In this paper, we develop an identity-based framework for sharp anisotropic L2L^2-Caffarelli-Kohn-Nirenberg inequalities associated with the anisotropic radial derivative RK(u)(x)=xu(x)\hKx,x\RN{o}. \mathcal R_K(u)(x)=\frac{x\cdot\nabla u(x)}{\hK{x}}, \quad x\in\RN\setminus\{o\}. A key point of the present work is that KK is not assumed to be origin-symmetric. Consequently, the Minkowski functional \hK\hK{\cdot} need not be even, and the usual norm-based anisotropic arguments do not apply directly. The main tools are anisotropic L2L^2-Hardy and L2L^2-Caffarelli-Kohn-Nirenberg identities with explicit nonnegative remainders. These identities yield sharp anisotropic L2L^2-Caffarelli-Kohn-Nirenberg inequalities whose best constants depend on the parameter region of (a,b)R2(a,b)\in\mathbb R^2. We also study the attainability of the sharp constants in a natural completion space and obtain the corresponding extremal functions. As further consequences, we derive sharp anisotropic Heisenberg-type uncertainty principles and max-type anisotropic gradient inequalities. When KK is the Euclidean unit ball, our results recover the classical Euclidean L2L^2 theory; when KK is origin-symmetric, they are consistent with the usual norm-based anisotropic framework. In particular, the present results extend the sharp L2L^2-Caffarelli-Kohn-Nirenberg theory to general convex bodies containing the origin in their interiors, for which the Minkowski functional may be non-even.
