Abstract
We prove a fractional version of the Boxing inequality that involves the Hausdorff content \(\mathcal{H}^{d-\alpha}_\infty\). We then show how this estimate implies a trace inequality in the fractional Sobolev space \(W^{\alpha,1} (\mathbb{R}^d)\) that includes Sobolev’s \(L^{\frac{d}{d-\alpha}}\) embedding, its Lorentz-space improvement, and Hardy’s inequality. All these estimates are thus obtained with the appropriate asymptotics as \(\alpha\) tends to 0 and 1, recovering in particular the classical inequalities of first order. Their counterparts in the full range \(\alpha\in(0,d)\) are also investigated.
