Noncommutative Tao uncertainty principle for prime dimensions

From papers

Let pp be a prime and let A\mathcal{A} be a unital C*-algebra with the invariant basis number property. Define the noncommutative Fourier transform x^:ApAp\widehat{\phantom{x}}:\mathcal{A}^p\to\mathcal{A}^p by

(aj)j=0p1^=1p(j=0p1aje2πijkp)k=0p1,(aj)j=0p1Ap.\widehat{(a_j)_{j=0}^{p-1}}=\frac{1}{\sqrt{p}}\left(\sum_{j=0}^{p-1}a_j e^{\frac{-2\pi i j k}{p}}\right)_{k=0}^{p-1},\qquad (a_j)_{j=0}^{p-1}\in\mathcal{A}^p.

Noncommutative Tao uncertainty principle. For every xAp{0}x\in\mathcal{A}^p\setminus\{0\},

x0+x^0p+1.\|x\|_0+\|\widehat{x}\|_0\geq p+1.

This conjecture seeks to extend Tao's uncertainty principle from complex vectors in prime dimensions to vectors over unital C*-algebras with invariant basis number. Its status is not determined by the supplied context.
