Sharp inequalities for coherent states and their optimizers

We are interested in sharp functional inequalities for the coherent state transform related to the Wehrl conjecture and its generalizations. This conjecture was settled by Lieb in the case of the Heisenberg group, Lieb and Solovej for SU(2), and Kulikov for SU(1, 1) and the affine group. In this art...

Description
Summary:We are interested in sharp functional inequalities for the coherent state transform related to the Wehrl conjecture and its generalizations. This conjecture was settled by Lieb in the case of the Heisenberg group, Lieb and Solovej for SU(2), and Kulikov for SU(1, 1) and the affine group. In this article, we give alternative proofs and characterize, for the first time, the optimizers in the general case. We also extend the recent Faber-Krahn-type inequality for Heisenberg coherent states, due to Nicola and Tilli, to the SU(2) and SU(1, 1) cases. Finally, we prove a family of reverse Hölder inequalities for polynomials, conjectured by Bodmann.
