Abstract:
We introduce a simple new method, based on the Caffarelli-Silvestre extension and a Duhamel-type formula, to derive exact pointwise identities for fractional commutators and nonlinear compositions associated with the fractional Laplacian on general Riemannian manifolds. As applications, we obtain a pointwise fractional Leibniz rule, a fractional Bochner's formula with an explicit Ricci curvature term, apparently the first of this kind, and exact remainders in the Córdoba-Córdoba and Kato inequalities for the fractional Laplacian. All these formulas are new even in the Euclidean space.
