Abstract
We prove scaling invariant Gagliardo-Nirenberg type inequalities of the form ∥φ∥L^p(R^d)≤C∥φ∥βH^s(R^d)(∬R^d×R^d |φ(x)|^q |φ(y)|^q /|x−y|^(d−α) dx dy)^γ, involving fractional Sobolev norms with s>0 and Coulomb type energies with 0<α<d and q≥1. We establish optimal ranges of parameters for the validity of such inequalities and discuss the existence of the optimisers. In the special case p=2dd−2s our results include a new refinement of the fractional Sobolev inequality by a Coulomb term. We also prove that if the radial symmetry is taken into account, then the ranges of validity of the inequalities could be extended and such a radial improvement is possible if and only if α>1.
