Symmetry of extremals of functional inequalities via spectral estimates for linear operators

(2012-12-31)

We prove new symmetry results for the extremals of the Caffarelli-Kohn-Nirenberg inequalities in any dimension larger or equal than 2, in a range of parameters for which no explicit results of symmetry were previously known.
