Abstract

In this work we establish the following fractional Hardy's inequality CH+nf(ξ)px1sp+αdξHnHnf(ξ)f(ξ)pd(ξ1ξ)Q+spzzαdξdξ,  fCc(H+n)C\int_{\mathbb{H}^n_+}\frac{|f(\xi)|^p}{x_1^{sp+\alpha}}d\xi\leq \int_{\mathbb{H}^n}\int_{\mathbb{H}^n}\frac{|f(\xi)-f(\xi')|^p}{d({\xi}^{-1}\circ \xi')^{Q+sp}|z'-z|^\alpha}d\xi'd\xi,\ \ \forall f\in C_c^{\infty}(\mathbb{H}^n_+) for the half-space H+n={ξ=(x,y,t)=(x1,,xn,y1,,yn)Hn:x1>0}\mathbb{H}^n_+=\{\xi=(x,y,t)=(x_1,\ldots,x_n,y_1,\ldots,y_n)\in\mathbb{H}^n:x_1>0\} in the Heisenberg group Hn\mathbb{H}^n without any restriction on parameters, and compute the corresponding sharp constant. In a previous joint work, we established a variant of Hardy's inequality for the same half-space, but with certain parameter restrictions. However, all integrals in that work were considered over half-spaces, and here the seminorm is taken over the entire Hn\mathbb{H}^n. Although this inequality holds for all values of the quantity sp+αsp+\alpha, we are only able to compute the corresponding sharp constant when sp+α>1sp+\alpha>1.
