Wehrl Inequalities for Matrix Coefficients of Holomorphic Discrete Series
Journal article, 2026

Let G be a Hermitian Lie group. We prove Wehrl-type L2(G)-Lp(G) inequalities for matrix coefficients of vector-valued holomorphic discrete series of G, for even integers p=2n. The optimal constant is expressed in terms of Harish-Chandra formal degrees for the discrete series. We prove the maximizers are precisely the reproducing kernels.
