On sharp Strichartz inequalities in low dimensions

Abstract
Recently, Foschi gave a proof of a sharp Strichartz inequality in one and two dimensions. In this paper, a new representation in terms of an orthogonal projection operator is obtained for the space-time norm of solutions of the free Schrödinger equation in dimensions one and two. As a consequence, the sharp Strichartz inequality follows from the elementary property that orthogonal projections do not increase the norm.
