On Trudinger–Moser type inequalities involving Sobolev–Lorentz spaces

Generalizations of the Trudinger-Moser inequality to Sobolev-Lorentz spaces with weights are considered. The weights in these spaces allow for the addition of certain lower order terms in the exponential integral. We prove an explicit relation between the weights and the lower order terms; furthermore, we show that the resulting inequalities are sharp, and that there are related phenomena of concentration-compactness.
