Best Constant in the Weighted Hardy Inequality: The Spatial and Spherical Version

Abstract

The sharp constant is obtained for the Hardy-Stein-Weiss inequality for fractional Riesz potential operator in the space L^p(R^n, ρ) with the power weight ρ = |x|^β. As a corollary, the sharp constant is found for a similar weighted inequality for fractional powers of the Beltrami-Laplace operator on the unit sphere.
