Logarithmic Hardy-Rellich inequalities on Lie groups

Abstract

In this paper we obtain logarithmic Hardy and Rellich inequalities on general Lie groups. In the case of graded groups, we also show their refinements using the homogeneous Sobolev norms. In fact, we derive a family of weighted logarithmic Hardy-Rellich inequalities, for which logarithmic Hardy and Rellich inequalities are special cases. As a consequence of these inequalities, we also derive a Gross type logarithmic Hardy inequality on general stratified groups. An interesting feature of such estimate is that we consider the measure which is Gaussian only on the first stratum of the group. Such choice of the measure is natural in view of the known Gross type logarithmic Sobolev inequalities on stratified groups. The obtained results are new already in the setting of the Euclidean space $\mathbb R^n.$ Finally, we also present a simple argument for getting a logarithmic Poincaré inequality, as well as the logarithmic Hardy inequality for the fractional $p$-sub-Laplacian on homogeneous groups.
