Hardy and Hardy-Sobolev inequalities on Riemannian manifolds

Let $(M,g)$ be a smooth compact Riemannian manifold of dimension $N \geq 3$. Given $p_0 \in M$, $λ\in \mathcal{R}$ and $σ\in (0,2]$, we study existence and non existence of minimizers of the following quotient: \begin{equation}\label{Paper Equation} μ_{λ,σ}=\inf_{u \in H^1(M)\setminus \lbrace0\rbrace} \frac{\displaystyle\int_M |\nabla u|^2 dv_g -λ\int_M u^2 dv_g }{\biggl(\displaystyle\int_M ρ^{-σ} |u|^{2^*(σ)} dv_g\biggl)^{2/2^*(σ)}}, \end{equation} where $ρ(.):=dist(p_0,.)$ denoted the geodesic distance from $p \in M$ to $p_0$. In particular for $σ=2$, we provide sufficient and necessary conditions of existence of minimizers in terms of $λ$. For $σ\in (0,2)$ we prove existence of minimizers under scalar curvature pinching.
