Abstract
In this review paper, we survey Hardy type inequalities from the point of view of Folland and Stein’s homogeneous groups. Particular attention is paid to Hardy type inequalities on stratified groups which give a special class of homogeneous groups. In this environment, the theory of Hardy type inequalities becomes intricately intertwined with the properties of sub-Laplacians and more general subelliptic partial differential equations. Particularly, we discuss the Badiale-Tarantello conjecture and a conjecture on the geometric Hardy inequality in a half-space of the Heisenberg group with a sharp constant.

In the case of the Heisenberg group, \(\mathscr {L}\)-gauge is called a Kaplan distance.
