The solitary wave conjecture for focusing mass-critical NLS
The solitary wave conjecture for focusing mass-critical NLS
Let , and consider the focusing mass-critical nonlinear Schrödinger equation. Let denote its ground state, and suppose that a global solution with initial data has ground-state mass . A solution is non-scattering if it does not scatter in the relevant time direction, and the solitary wave is the solution generated by . Solitary wave conjecture. Every global non-scattering solution with ground-state mass is the solitary wave up to the translation and Galilean symmetries of the equation. These are conjectured to be the only global obstruction to scattering at ground-state mass, alongside the pseudoconformal finite-time blowup solution.
