Gaussian extremizer conjecture for the Schrödinger Strichartz estimate

Let 2p,q2\leq p,q\leq\infty and let dd be the spatial dimension. For fL2(Rd)f\in L^2(\mathbb{R}^d), consider the Schrödinger Strichartz estimate

eitΔfLp(Rd)Lq(R)CfL2(Rd),\|\|e^{it\Delta}f\|_{L^p(\mathbb{R}^d)}\|_{L^q(\mathbb{R})}\leq C\|f\|_{L^2(\mathbb{R}^d)},

where Δ\Delta is the Laplacian and

dp+2q=d2,(p,q,d)(,2,2).\frac{d}{p}+\frac{2}{q}=\frac{d}{2},\qquad (p,q,d)\neq(\infty,2,2).

Gaussian extremizer conjecture. A function f(x)f(\boldsymbol{x}) maximizes the Strichartz estimate if and only if it has the form

f(x)=AeBx2+ux,f(\boldsymbol{x})=Ae^{-B\|\boldsymbol{x}\|^2+\boldsymbol{u}\cdot\boldsymbol{x}},

where A,BCA,B\in\mathbb{C}, ReB>0\operatorname{Re}B>0, and uCd\boldsymbol{u}\in\mathbb{C}^d. This conjecture identifies all extremizers of the space-time Strichartz inequality; it arose from the search for maximizers following Strichartz's original work. The supplied text does not state whether it has been resolved.
