Abstract (VO)

We show that $n$-dimensional $(n\geqslant 2)$ complete and noncompact metric measure spaces with nonnegative weighted Ricci curvature in which some Caffarelli-Kohn-Nirenberg type inequality holds are isometric to the model metric measure $n$-space (i.e. the Euclidean metric $n$-space). We also show that the Euclidean metric spaces are the only complete and noncompact metric measure spaces of nonnegative weighted Ricci curvature satisfying some prescribed Sobolev type inequality.
