On sharp bilinear Strichartz estimates of Ozawa-Tsutsumi type

We provide a comprehensive analysis of sharp bilinear estimates of Ozawa-Tsutsumi type for solutions u of the free Schrödinger equation, which give sharp control on $|u|^2$ in classical Sobolev spaces. In particular, we provide a generalization of their estimates in such a way that provides a unification with some sharp bilinear estimates proved by Carneiro and Planchon-Vega, via entirely different methods, by seeing them all as special cases of a one parameter family of sharp estimates. We show that the extremal functions are solutions of the Maxwell-Boltzmann functional equation and provide a new proof that this equation admits only Gaussian solutions. We also make a connection to certain sharp estimates on $u^2$ involving certain dispersive Sobolev norms.

Stability of trace theorems on the sphere

We prove stable versions of trace theorems on the sphere in $L^2$ with optimal constants, thus obtaining rather precise information regarding near-extremisers. We also obtain stability for the trace theorem into $L^q$ for $q > 2$, by combining a refined Hardy-Littlewood-Sobolev inequality on the sphere with a duality-stability result proved very recently by Carlen. Finally, we extend a local version of Carlen's duality theorem to establish local stability of certain Strichartz estimates for the kinetic transport equation.

Some sharp bilinear space-time estimates for the wave equation

We prove a family of sharp bilinear space-time estimates for the half-wave propagator. As a consequence, for radially symmetric initial data, we establish sharp estimates of this kind for a range of exponents beyond the classical range.

A Sharp Sobolev--Strichartz estimate for the wave equation

We calculate the the sharp constant and characterise the extremal initial data in $\dot{H}^{\frac{3}{4}}\times\dot{H}^{-\frac{1}{4}}$ for the $L^4$ Sobolev--Strichartz estimate for the wave equation in four space dimensions.

A sharp bilinear estimate for the Klein-Gordon equation in arbitrary space-time dimensions

We prove a sharp bilinear inequality for the Klein-Gordon equation on $\sr^{d+1}$, for any $d \geq 2$. This extends work of Ozawa-Rogers and Quilodrán for the Klein-Gordon equation and generalises work of Bez-Rogers for the wave equation. As a consequence we obtain a sharp Strichartz estimate for the solution of the Klein-Gordon equation in five spatial dimensions for data belonging to $H^1$. We show that maximisers for this estimate do not exist and that any maximising sequence of initial data concentrates at spatial infinity.
