Sharp Adams type inequalities for the fractional Laplace-Beltrami operator on noncompact symmetric spaces

Abstract

We establish sharp Adams type inequalities on Sobolev spaces $W^{\alpha, n/\alpha}(X)$ of any fractional order $\alpha< n$ on Riemannian symmetric space $X$ of noncompact type with dimension $n$ and of arbitrary rank. We also establish sharp Hardy-Adams inequalities on the Sobolev spaces $W^{n/2, 2}(X)$. For the real hyperbolic spaces, such results were recently obtained by J. Li et al. (Trans. AMS, 2020). We use Fourier analysis on the symmetric spaces to obtain these results.
