### The linear profile decomposition for the Airy equation and the existence of maximizers for the Airy Strichartz inequality

Shuanglin Shao

#### Abstract

We establish the linear profile decomposition for the Airy equation with complex or real initial data in $L2$. As an application, we obtain a dichotomy result on the existence of maximizers for the symmetric Airy Strichartz inequality.
