We prove estimates for the sharp constants in fractional Poincar\'e-Sobolev inequalities associated to an open set, in terms of a nonlocal capacitary extension of its inradius. This work builds upon previous results obtained in the local…

We prove a lower bound on the sharp Poincar\'e-Sobolev embedding constants for general open sets, in terms of their inradius. We consider the following two situations: planar sets with given topology; open sets in any dimension, under the…

We study the sharp constant in the Hardy inequality for fractional Sobolev spaces defined on open subsets of the Euclidean space. We first list some properties of such a constant, as well as of the associated variational problem. We then…

We obtain sharp estimate on $p$-spectral gaps, or equivalently optimal constant in $p$-Poincar\'e inequalities, for metric measure spaces satisfying measure contraction property. We also prove the rigidity for the sharp $p$-spectral gap.

We consider periodically perforated unbounded open sets and prove existence of extremals for the relevant sharp Poincar\'e-Sobolev embedding constant. The existence result holds no matter the shape or the regularity of the hole: it is…

We provide a sharp double-sided estimate for Poincar\'e-Sobolev constants on a convex set, in terms of its inradius and $N-$dimensional measure. Our results extend and unify previous works by Hersch and Protter (for the first eigenvalue)…

We give a partial negative answer to a question left open in a previous work by Brasco and the first and third-named authors concerning the sharp constant in the fractional Hardy inequality on convex sets. Our approach has a geometrical…

Given a bounded convex open set $\Omega\subseteq \mathbb R^N$, we prove that the Poincar\'e-Sobolev constants $\lambda_{p,q}(\Omega)$ can be bounded from below by the $p$-power of the ratio between the perimeter of $\Omega$ and a suitable…

We discuss some properties of the capacitary inradius for an open set. This is an extension of the classical concept of inradius (i.e. the radius of a largest inscribed ball), which takes into account capacitary effects. Its introduction…

We develop an intrinsic, heat-kernel based fractional Sobolev framework on closed Riemannian manifolds and study the critical fractional Sobolev embedding. We determine the optimal coefficient of the lower-order $L^{p}$ term and prove that…

It is shown that the $p$-Poincar\'e inequality holds on an open set $\Omega$ in $\mathbb{R}^n$ if and only if the strict $p$-capacitary inradius of $\Omega$ is finite. To that end, new upper and lower bounds for the infimum for the…

On a convex set, we prove that the Poincar\'e-Sobolev constant for functions vanishing at the boundary can be bounded from above by the ratio between the perimeter and a suitable power of the $N-$dimensional measure. This generalizes an old…

In this note, we establish a $L^p-$version of the Poincar\'e--Sobolev inequalities in the hyperbolic spaces $\mathbb H^n$. The interest of this result is that it relates both the Poincar\'e (or Hardy) inequality and the Sobolev inequality…

We generalize to the case of the $p-$Laplacian an old result by Hersch and Protter. Namely, we show that it is possible to estimate from below the first eigenvalue of the Dirichlet $p-$Laplacian of a convex set in terms of its inradius. We…

The goal of this paper is to push forward the study of those properties of log-concave measures that help to estimate their Poincar{\'e} constant. First we revisit E. Milman's result [40] on the link between weak (Poincar{\'e} or…

We prove existence of minimizers for the sharp Poincar\'e-Sobolev constant in general Steiner symmetric sets, in the subcritical and superhomogeneous regime. The sets considered are not necessarily bounded, thus the relevant embeddings may…

This note is devoted to the proof of convex Sobolev (or generalized Poincar\'{e}) inequalities which interpolate between spectral gap (or Poincar\'{e}) inequalities and logarithmic Sobolev inequalities. We extend to the whole family of…

We study the sharp constant in the Morrey inequality for fractional Sobolev-Slobodecki\u{\i} spaces on the whole $\mathbb{R}^N$. By generalizing a recent work by Hynd and Seuffert, we prove existence of extremals, together with some…

Let $\Omega \subset \mathbb{R}^n$ be a convex. If $u: \Omega \rightarrow \mathbb{R}$ has mean 0, then we have the classical Poincar\'{e} inequality $$ \|u \|_{L^p} \leq c_p \mbox{diam}(\Omega) \| \nabla u \|_{L^p}$$ with sharp constants…

Firstly, we derive in dimension one a new covariance inequality of $L_{1}-L_{\infty}$ type that characterizes the isoperimetric constant as the best constant achieving the inequality. Secondly, we generalize our result to $L_{p}-L_{q}$…
