Abstract

We establish a sharp affine LpL^p Sobolev trace inequality by using the LpL_p Busemann-Petty centroid inequality. For p=2p = 2, our affine version is stronger than the famous sharp L2L^2 Sobolev trace inequality proved independently by Escobar and Beckner. Our approach allows also to characterize all cases of equality in this case. For this new inequality, no Euclidean geometric structure is needed.
