Abstract
We give a new proof of certain cases of the sharp HLS inequality. Instead of symmetric decreasing rearrangement it uses the reflection positivity of inversions in spheres. In doing this we extend a characterization of the minimizing functions due to Li and Zhu.

We are grateful to E. Carlen for pointing out that the conformal invariance of the HLS functional and the conventional reflection positivity through planes imply the inversion positivity through spheres. This allows us to circumvent our original, direct but complicated proof, which uses properties of Gegenbauer polynomials.
