Conjecture on maximizers for the wave Strichartz inequality

At least 21 years old · documented by

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

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

and let u∗u_* 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 u∗u_* 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.
