Abstract: | For conformal Hardy-Littlewood-Sobolev(HLS) inequalities 22] and reversed conformal HLS inequalities 8] on $\mathbb{S}^n,$ a new proof is given for the attainability
of their sharp constants. Classical methods used in 22] and 8] depends on rearrangement inequalities. Here, we use the subcritical approach to construct the extremal
sequence and circumvent the blow-up phenomenon by renormalization method. The
merit of the method is that it does not rely on rearrangement inequalities. |
