The Strichartz conjecture on the real line times the three-sphere

From papers

Let NN denote the spatial frequency scale, let PNP_N be the corresponding frequency projection on R×S3\mathbb{R}\times\mathbb{S}^3, and let fL2(R×S3)f\in L^2(\mathbb{R}\times\mathbb{S}^3). Define

σ(p)={26p,if p103,121p,if 2p103.\sigma(p)= \begin{cases} 2-\frac{6}{p},&\text{if }p\geq\frac{10}{3},\\\\ \frac{1}{2}-\frac{1}{p},&\text{if }2\leq p\leq\frac{10}{3}. \end{cases}

The Strichartz conjecture on R×S3\mathbb{R}\times\mathbb{S}^3. One has

eitΔPNfLp([0,1]×R×S3)Nσ(p)fL2(R×S3).\\|e^{it\Delta}P_Nf\\|_{L^p([0,1]\times\mathbb{R}\times\mathbb{S}^3)}\lesssim N^{\sigma(p)}\\|f\\|_{L^2(\mathbb{R}\times\mathbb{S}^3)}.

This estimate is identified as a natural open problem and would have consequences for energy-critical nonlinear Schrödinger equations on product spaces, including the setting involving T×S3\mathbb{T}\times\mathbb{S}^3.
