Generalized Strohmer–Beaver conjecture for Gaussian Gabor frames

Let g0(t)=21/4eπt2g_0(t)=2^{1/4}e^{-\pi t^2} be the standard Gaussian, let δ>1\delta>1, and define

FΛδ(g0)={ΛR2Λ is a lattice and vol(Λ)1=δ}.\mathfrak{F}_{\Lambda}^{\delta}(g_0)=\{\Lambda\subset\mathbb{R}^2\mid \Lambda\text{ is a lattice and }\operatorname{vol}(\Lambda)^{-1}=\delta\}.

For each Λ\Lambda in this class, let AA and BB denote the lower and upper frame bounds of the Gabor frame operator Sg0,ΛS_{g_0,\Lambda}. Generalized Strohmer–Beaver conjecture. Among all lattices in FΛδ(g0)\mathfrak{F}_{\Lambda}^{\delta}(g_0), the hexagonal lattice is the unique maximizer for the lower frame bound and the unique minimizer for the upper frame bound. This conjecture implies the Strohmer–Beaver condition-number conjecture, while the source records that the latter was disproved; the status of this stronger formulation is not established by the supplied evidence.
