Abstract: We prove new extended forms of the Pólya-Szegö symmetrization principle. As a consequence new sharp embedding theorems for generalized Besov spaces are proved, including a sharpening of the limiting cases of the classical Sobolev embedding theorem. In particular, a surprising self-improving property of certain Sobolev embeddings is uncovered.
