Abstract
We study sharp second order inequalities of Caffarelli-Kohn-Nirenberg type in the euclidian space , where denotes the dimension. This analysis is equivalent to the study of uncertainty principles for special classes of vector fields. In particular, we show that when switching from scalar fields to vector fields of the form ( being a scalar field) the best constant in the Heisenberg Uncertainty Principle (HUP) increases from to , and the optimal constant in the Hydrogen Uncertainty Principle (HyUP) improves from to . As a consequence of our results we answer to the open question of Maz'ya (Integral Equations Operator Theory 2018) in the case regarding the HUP for divergence free vector fields.
