We study the existence of maximizers for a one-parameter family of Strichartz inequalities on the torus. In general maximizing sequences can fail to be precompact in L2(\mathbb T), and maximizers can fail to exist. We provide a sufficient condition for precompactness of maximizing sequences (after translation in Fourier space), and verify the existence of maximizers for a range of values of the parameter. Maximizers for the Strichartz inequalities correspond to stable, periodic (in space and time) solutions of a model equation for optical pulses in a dispersion-managed fiber.
