Proof of the Wehrl-type Entropy Conjecture for Symmmetric SU(N) Coherent States

Research output: Contribution to journalJournal articleResearchpeer-review

The Wehrl entropy conjecture for coherent (highest weight) states in representations of the Heisenberg group, which was proved in 1978 and recently extended by us to the group SU(2) SU(2) , is further extended here to symmetric representations of the groups SU(N) SU(N) for all N. This result gives further evidence for our conjecture that highest weight states minimize group integrals of certain concave functions for a large class of Lie groups and their representations.
