Extensions of the Heisenberg-Weyl inequality

In this paper a number of generalizations of the classical Heisenberg-Weyl uncertainty inequality are given. We prove the n-dimensional Hirschman entropy inequality (Theorem 2.1) from the optimal form of the Hausdorff-Young theorem and deduce a higher dimensional uncertainty inequality (Theorem 2.2)...

Description
Summary:In this paper a number of generalizations of the classical Heisenberg-Weyl uncertainty inequality are given. We prove the n-dimensional Hirschman entropy inequality (Theorem 2.1) from the optimal form of the Hausdorff-Young theorem and deduce a higher dimensional uncertainty inequality (Theorem 2.2). From a general weighted form of the Hausdorff-Young theorem, a one-dimensional weighted entropy inequality is proved and some weighted forms of the Heisenberg-Weyl inequalities are given.
