Separable Gaussian Gabor frame conjecture for the square lattice

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

F(α,β)δ(g0)={αZ×βZα,βR+, (αβ)1=δ}.\mathfrak{F}_{(\alpha,\beta)}^{\delta}(g_0)=\{\alpha\mathbb{Z}\times\beta\mathbb{Z}\mid \alpha,\beta\in\mathbb{R}_+,\ (\alpha\beta)^{-1}=\delta\}.

For each separable lattice in this class, let AA and BB denote the lower and upper frame bounds of its Gabor frame operator. Square-lattice conjecture. Among all separable lattices in F(α,β)δ(g0)\mathfrak{F}_{(\alpha,\beta)}^{\delta}(g_0), the square lattice is the unique maximizer for the lower frame bound and the unique minimizer for the upper frame bound. The conjecture is the separable-case question that remains after the earlier square-lattice optimality conjecture was disproved in the unrestricted setting; the supplied evidence does not resolve this separable formulation.
