On sharp Strichartz inequalities in low dimensions

Recently Foschi gave a proof of a sharp Strichartz inequality in one and two dimensions. In this note, 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 dimension one and two. As a consequence, the sharp Strichartz inequality follows from the elementary property that orthogonal projections do not increase the norm.
