Radial power integrability criterion

If a radial function on ${\mathbb{R}}^n$ behaves like $r^a$ near zero and like $r^{-b}$ at infinity, then its $q$th power is locally integrable at zero exactly when $aq>-n$ and integrable at infinity exactly when $bq>n$. This follows from the radial measure factor $r^{n-1}dr$.

Assign an arbitrary finite value at the origin. Polar integration and the substitution rule $u=r^2$ reduce the joint L1 norm exactly to $\pi {\int }_0^{\infty }|\sin u|u^{-\alpha }du$. Near zero, $|\sin u|\le u$ gives $u^{1-\alpha }$; at infinity, $|\sin u|\le 1$ gives $u^{-\alpha }$. These are integrable when $\alpha <2$ and $\alpha >1$, respectively. Their explicit integrals give the displayed bound. This is a planar version of sine power kernel integrability, with the radial area element determining the exponents.
