Abstract
We establish sharp trace Sobolev inequalities of order four on Euclidean -balls for . When , our inequality generalizes the classical second-order Lebedev–Milin inequality on Euclidean -balls. Our method relies on the use of scattering theory on hyperbolic -balls. As an application, we characterize the extremal metric of the main term in the log-determinant formula corresponding to the conformal Laplacian coupled with the boundary Robin operator on Euclidean -balls, which surprisingly is not the flat metric on the ball.
