Wehrl-type L2sL^{2s} conjecture for affine coherent states

From papers

Fix α>0\alpha>0 and s1s\geq1. Let UU be the affine-group representation on L2(R+)L^2(\mathbb{R}_+), let ηα(k)=C(α)kαek\eta_\alpha(k)=C(\alpha)k^\alpha e^{-k}, and define hf(a,b)=U(a,b)ηαfh_f(a,b)=\langle U(a,b)\eta_\alpha\mid f\rangle for normalized fL2(R+)f\in L^2(\mathbb{R}_+). Wehrl-type affine conjecture. Among all normalized fL2(R+)f\in L^2(\mathbb{R}_+),

0hf(a,b)2sa2dadb\int_{-\infty}^{\infty}\int_0^{\infty}|h_f(a,b)|^{2s}a^{-2}\,\mathrm{d}a\,\mathrm{d}b

is maximal if and only if, up to a phase, f=α1/2U(a,b)ηαf=\alpha^{-1/2}U(a,b)\eta_\alpha for some a>0a>0 and bRb\in\mathbb{R}; the maximal value is

2αs(2α+1)s1.\frac{2\alpha^s}{(2\alpha+1)s-1}.

This is the paper's general affine-group conjecture, with special cases proved there; the supplied text does not establish the full claim for every s1s\geq1.
