Conjecture on maximizers for the wave Strichartz inequality

For an integer n2n\geq 2, set p=2+4/(n1)p=2+4/(n-1). Let ff_* be the function on Rn\mathbb{R}^n whose Fourier transform is

f^(ξ)=ξ1exp(ξ),\widehat{f_*}(\xi)=|\xi|^{-1}\exp\bigl(-|\xi|\bigr),

and let uu_* be the solution of the wave equation with initial data

u(0)=f,tu(0)=0.u_*(0)=f_*,\qquad \partial_tu_*(0)=0.

Wave maximizer conjecture. The set of maximizers for which equality holds in the sharp wave Strichartz inequality coincides with the set of initial data of solutions in the orbit of uu_* under the action of the group L{\mathcal L}. This is the conjectural higher-dimensional analogue of the geometric characterization proved in the paper for the cases (n,p)=(2,6)(n,p)=(2,6) and (3,4)(3,4); the claim is stated for exponents that need not be even integers.
