Nonlinear scattering conjecture for finite-energy Gross–Pitaevskii solutions

Let ψ=1+u\psi=1+u be a global solution of the Gross–Pitaevskii equation in C(R;1+F1)C(\mathbb{R};1+F_1), and let E1E_1 denote its renormalized energy. Fix the threshold E0>0\mathcal{E}_0>0 from the preceding definition, and let MM and HH be the transform and linear operator used in the scattering formulation. Then the nonlinear scattering conjecture. For every such solution satisfying

E1(ψ)<E0,E_1(\psi)<\mathcal{E}_0,

there is a unique z+H1(R3)z_+\in H^1(\mathbb{R}^3) such that

E1(ψ)=z+L22E_1(\psi)=\|\langle\nabla\rangle z_+\|_{L^2}^2

and

M(u(t))eitHz+H1(R3)0(t).\|M(u(t))-e^{-itH}z_+\|_{H^1(\mathbb{R}^3)}\to0\qquad(t\to\infty).

Moreover, the map u(0)z+u(0)\mapsto z_+ is a homeomorphism between the open balls of radius E01/2\mathcal{E}_0^{1/2} around 00 in F1F_1 and H1H^1. This formulates the expected small-energy nonlinear scattering and asymptotic completeness statement; the supplied source does not provide evidence that it has been resolved, so its status remains open.
