Title: On Hardy's inequality for fractional powers of the sublaplacian
Time, day and date: 4:00:00 PM – 5:15:00 PM, Friday, October 17
Venue: Ramanujan Hall
Abstract: In these lectures we plan to give an introduction to Hardy's inequality for fractional powers of the sublaplacian on the Heisenberg group. We will recall the case of the standard Laplacian on $ \R^n $ and give a proof of Hardy's inequality for $ (-Delta)^s $ using extension problem and trace Hardy inequality. We will then develop necessary background for studying the modified extension problem for the sublaplacian, establish an analogue of trace Hardy inequality and deduce Hardy's inequality.
