Sharp weighted Sobolev trace inequalities and fractional powers of the Laplacian

Analysis of PDEs 2022-11-16 v2

Abstract

We establish a family of sharp Sobolev trace inequalities involving the Wk,2(R+n+1,ya)W^{k,2}(\mathbb{R}_+^{n+1},y^a)-norm. These inequalities are closely related to the realization of fractional powers of the Laplacian on Rn=R+n+1\mathbb{R}^n=\partial\mathbb{R}_+^{n+1} as generalized Dirichlet-to-Neumann operators associated to powers of the weighted Laplacian in upper half space, generalizing observations of Caffarelli--Silvestre and of Yang.
