We generalize the concept of the Wehrl entropy of quantum states which gives a basis-independent measure of their localization in phase space. We discuss the minimal values and the typical values of these R{enyi-Wehrl entropies for pure…

Lieb and Carlen have shown that mixed states with minimal Wehrl entropy are coherent states. We prove that mixed states with almost minimal Wehrl entropy are almost coherent states. This is proved in a quantitative sense where both the norm…

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 $SU(2)$, is further extended here to symmetric representations…

A Wehrl entropy construction is proposed for an arbitrary locally compact abelian group $G$. It is proved that the Wehrl entropy is not less than a non-negative integer, which is an invariant of the group $G$. The minimum of the Wehrl…

We investigate the sharp functional inequalities for the coherent state transforms of $SU(N,1)$. These inequalities are rooted in Wehrl's definition of semiclassical entropy and his conjecture about its minimum value. Lieb resolved this…

Wehrl used Glauber coherent states to define a map from quantum density matrices to classical phase space densities and conjectured that for Glauber coherent states the mininimum classical entropy would occur for density matrices equal to…

Lieb's conjecture for the Wehrl entropy of Bloch coherent states is proved for spin 1 and spin 3/2. Using a geometric representation we solve the entropy integrals for states of arbitrary spin and evaluate them explicitly in the cases of…

Lieb and Solovej proved that, for the symmetric $SU(N)$ representations, the corresponding Wehrl-type entropy is minimized by symmetric coherent states. However, the uniqueness of the minimizers remained an open problem when $N\geq 3$. In…

We consider the generalization of the Araki-Uhlmann formula for relative entropy to Petz-R\'enyi relative entropy. We compute this entropy for a free scalar field in the Minkowski wedge between the vacuum and a coherent state, as well as…

A lower bound for the Wehrl entropy of a single quantum spin is derived. The high-spin asymptotics of this bound coincides with Lieb's conjecture up to, but not including, terms of first and higher order in the inverse spin quantum number.…

We propose to quantify the entanglement of pure states of $N \times N$ bipartite quantum system by defining its Husimi distribution with respect to $SU(N)\times SU(N)$ coherent states. The Wehrl entropy is minimal if and only if the pure…

We discuss the Wehrl-type entropy inequality conjecture for the group $SU(1,1)$ and for its subgroup $AX+B$ (or affine group), their representations on $L^2({\mathbb R}_+)$, and their coherent states. For $AX+B$ the Wehrl-type conjecture…

The Renyi entropies constitute a family of information measures that generalizes the well-known Shannon entropy, inheriting many of its properties. They appear in the form of unconditional and conditional entropies, relative entropies or…

We generalize a result of Sury and prove that uniform discreteness of cocompact lattices in higher rank semisimple Lie groups (first conjectured by Margulis) is equivalent to a weak form of Lehmer's conjecture. We include a short survey of…

The Renyi entropy with a free Renyi parameter $q$ is the most justified form of information entropy, and the Tsallis entropy may be regarded as a linear approximation to the Renyi entropy when $q\simeq 1$. When $q\to 1$, both entropies go…

Let $R=k[|t^a,t^b,t^c|]$ be a complete intersection numerical semigroup ring over an infinite field $k$, where $a,b,c\in\BN$. The generalized Loewy length, which is Auslander's index in this case, is computed in terms of the minimal…

In this note we show that for analytic semigroups the so-called Weiss condition of uniform boundedness of the operators $Re(\lambda)^\einhalb C(\lambda+A)^{-1}, \qquad Re(\lambda)>0$ on the complex right half plane and weak Lebesgue…

We revisit generalized entropic formulations of the uncertainty principle for an arbitrary pair of quantum observables in two-dimensional Hilbert space. R\'enyi entropy is used as uncertainty measure associated with the distribution…

We consider the problem of the stability (with sharp exponent) of the Lieb--Solovej inequality for symmetric $SU(N)$ coherent states, which was obtained only recently by the authors. Here, we propose an elementary proof of this result,…

We introduce the notion of reduced relative quantum entropy and prove that it is convex. This result is then used to give a simplified proof of a theorem of Lieb and Seiringer.
