Bilinear forms on non-homogeneous Sobolev spaces

In this paper, we show that if {b\in L^{2}(\mathbb{R}^{n})}, then the bilinear form defined on the product of the non-homogeneous Sobolev spaces {H_{s}^{2}(\mathbb{R}^{n})\times H_{s}^{2}(\mathbb{R}^{n})}, {0<s<1}, by(f,g)\in H_{s}^{2}(\mathbb{R}^{n})\times H_{s}^{2}(\mathbb{R}^{n})\to\int_{% \mathbb{R}^{n}}(\mathrm{Id}-\Delta)^{\frac{s}{2}}(fg)(\mathbf{x})b(\mathbf{x})% \mathop{}\!d\mathbf{x}is continuous if and only if the positive measure {\lvert b(\mathbf{x})\rvert^{2}\mathop{}\!d\mathbf{x}} is a trace measure for {H_{s}^{2}(\mathbb{R}^{n})}.
