In this paper we give a streamlined proof of an inequality recently obtained by the author: For every $\alpha \in (0,1)$ there exists a constant $C=C(\alpha,d)>0$ such that \begin{align*} \|u\|_{L^{d/(d-\alpha),1}(\mathbb{R}^d)} \leq C \| D^\alpha u\|_{L^1(\mathbb{R}^d;\mathbb{R}^d)} \end{align*} for all $u \in L^q(\mathbb{R}^d)$ for some $1 \leq q<d/(1-\alpha)$ such that $D^\alpha u:=\nabla I_{1-\alpha} u \in L^1(\mathbb{R}^d;\mathbb{R}^d)$. We also give a counterexample which shows that in… Expand
