A Sharpened Inequality for Twisted Convolution


Abstract in English

Consider the trilinear form for twisted convolution on $mathbb{R}^{2d}$: begin{equation*} mathcal{T}_t(mathbf{f}):=iint f_1(x)f_2(y)f_3(x+y)e^{itsigma(x,y)}dxdy,end{equation*} where $sigma$ is a symplectic form and $t$ is a real-valued parameter. It is known that in the case $t eq0$ the optimal constant for twisted convolution is the same as that for convolution, though no extremizers exist. Expanding about the manifold of triples of maximizers and $t=0$ we prove a sharpened inequality for twisted convolution with an arbitrary antisymmetric form in place of $sigma$.
