Heisenberg's inequality in $L^p$
Miquel Saucedo, Sergey Tikhonov
TL;DR
This work extends the classical Heisenberg-type uncertainty principle to weighted Lebesgue spaces with broken power weights, treating both non-symmetric and symmetric variants. It develops a local uncertainty principle and delivers sharp, complete characterizations of when these weighted inequalities hold, together with explicit optimal bounds expressed as $H_{A,B}$ and its exponents. The results are complemented by an analysis of special Hadamard operators, showing which bounds carry over to operators sharing Fourier-like properties, and an appendix detailing weighted Fourier inequalities that underpin the main theorems. Overall, the paper clarifies how decay and concentration interact at the origin and at infinity, generalizing the classical HUP to a versatile, finely balanced weighted framework with precise regimes of validity and sharpness.
Abstract
In this paper, we obtain non-symmetric and symmetric versions of the classical Heisenberg-Pauli-Weyl uncertainty principle in Lebesgue spaces with power weights.
