Stability for Strichartz inequalities: Existence of minimizers

Abstract

We study the quantitative stability associated with the adjoint Fourier restriction inequality, focusing on the paraboloid and two-dimensional sphere cases. We show that these Strichartz-stability inequalities admit minimizers attaining their sharp constants, provided that these sharp constants are strictly smaller than the corresponding spectral-gap constants. Furthermore, for the two-dimensional sphere case, we obtain the existence of minimizers.
