Abstract

We prove a family of Sobolev inequalities of the form

where is a vector first-order homogeneous linear differential operator with constant coefficients, is a vector field on and is a Lorentz space. These new inequalities imply in particular the extension of the classical Gagliardo–Nirenberg inequality to Lorentz spaces originally due to Alvino and a sharpening of an inequality in terms of the deformation operator by Strauss (Korn–Sobolev inequality) on the Lorentz scale. The proof relies on a nonorthogonal application of the Loomis–Whitney inequality and Gagliardo's lemma.
