Sharp Poisson transform inequality on the Heisenberg group

Let nn be a positive integer, let aa satisfy 2n<a<0-2n<a<0, and let PaP_a be the Poisson transform from H2n1H^{2n-1} to H2n+1H^{2n+1}. Set

p=4n2n+a,q=4n+42n+a.p=\frac{4n}{2n+a},\qquad q=\frac{4n+4}{2n+a}.

Sharpness and optimizer conjecture. There exists a sharp constant C>0C>0 such that

PafLq(H2n+1)CfLp(H2n1),\|P_af\|_{L^q(H^{2n+1})}\leq C\|f\|_{L^p(H^{2n-1})},

and the optimizers are translations, dilations, and multiples of the function

f(z,t)=((1+z2)2+t2)a+2n4.f(z',t')=((1+|z'|^2)^2+t'^2)^{-\frac{a+2n}{4}}.

This conjecture asks for the sharp endpoint inequality associated with the Poisson transform in the Heisenberg setting and a classification of all optimizers. The surrounding discussion states that the corresponding result is known in the real case, while its Heisenberg analogue is open.
