Improved Caffarelli-Kohn-Nirenberg Inequalities and Uncertainty Principle

Abstract

In this paper we prove some improved Caffarelli-Kohn-Nirenberg inequalities and uncertainty principle for complex- and vector-valued functions on $\mathbb R^n$, which is a further study of the results in \cite{Dang-Deng-Qian}. In particular, we introduce an analogue of "phase derivative" for vector-valued functions. Moreover, using the introduced "phase derivative", we extend the extra-strong uncertainty principle to cases for complex- and vector-valued functions defined on $\mathbb S^n,n\geq 2.$
