Observability of Schrödinger propagators on tori in rough settings

Abstract: On a torus of arbitrary dimension, it is conjectured that Schr\"odinger propagators with bounded potentials are observable from any space-time set of positive Lebesgue measure. We establish a criterion that proves the conjecture on the one-dimensional torus, yields new examples of measurable observation sets, and, more significantly, reduces the general conjecture to verifying certain integrability bounds for free Schr\"odinger waves. These bounds are far weaker than Bourgain's conjectured periodic Strichartz estimates, yet remain highly nontrivial.
