Lieb's Wehrl norm conjecture for spin coherent states
Lieb's Wehrl norm conjecture for spin coherent states
Let be the spin- function space on , and for define the normalized norm by
Let denote the coherent-vector kernel. Lieb's norm conjecture. For every and ,
If , equality holds if and only if is collinear with a coherent vector, namely for some and . The conjecture is the norm-inequality formulation underlying sharp Wehrl and Rényi–Wehrl entropy bounds; the supplied source records that related even-integer cases were known, while the full range, especially indices arbitrarily close to , remained unproved there.
