We consider the problem of finding the optimal exponent in the Moser-Trudinger inequality sup \∫Ωexp(α |u|(N)/(N-s)) | u ∈ \widetildeWs,p0(Ω), [u]Ws,p(ℝN)≤ 1 \lt; + ∞. Here Ω is a bounded domain of ℝN (N≥ 2), s ∈ (0,1), sp = N, \widetildeWs,p0(Ω) is a Sobolev-Slobodeckij space, and [⋅]Ws,p(ℝN) is the associated Gagliardo seminorm. We exhibit an explicit exponent α^*s,N>0, which does not depend on Ω, such that the Moser-Trudinger inequality does not hold true for α∈ (α^*s,N,+∞).
