The Wehrl-type entropy conjecture for symmetric SU(N) coherent states: Cases of equality and stability

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 ≥ 3. In this note, we complete the proof of the Wehrl entropy conjecture for such representations by showing that symmetric coherent states are, in fact, the only minimizers. We also provide an application to the maximum concentration of holomorphic polynomials and deduce a corresponding Faber–Krahn inequality. A sharp quantitative form of the bound by Lieb and Solovej is also proved
