$L^p$-Hardy-Rellich and uncertainty principle inequalities on the sphere

Abstract

In this paper, we study the Hardy-Rellich type inequalities and uncertainty principle on the geodesic sphere. Firstly, we derive $L^p$-Hardy inequalities via divergence theorem, which are in turn used to establish the $L^p$-Rellich inequalities. We also establish Heisenberg uncertainty principle on the sphere via the Hardy-Rellich type inequalities. The best constants appearing in the inequalities are shown to be sharp.
