The supercritical NLS standing-ring blowup conjecture

Let ψ\psi be a singular standing-ring solution of the NLS equation with d>1d>1 and σ>2\sigma>2. Let L(t)L(t) be its ring-region similarity scale, rmax(t)r_{\max}(t) its ring radius, and ψF\psi_F the self-similar profile. Supercritical NLS standing-ring conjecture. The solution is self-similar in the ring region, with ψψF|\psi|\sim|\psi_F| for rrmax=O(L)r-r_{\max}=\mathcal{O}(L); ψF(t,r)=ϕS(t,x=rrmax(t))\psi_F(t,r)=\phi_S(t,x=r-r_{\max}(t)), where ϕS\phi_S is the asymptotic peak-type profile of the one-dimensional NLS with exponent σ\sigma, and the admissible profile has κ=κS(σ)\kappa=\kappa_S(\sigma) and S0=S0(σ)S_0=S_0(\sigma). Moreover,

L(t)\simkappaS(σ)Tct,tTc.L(t)\simkappa_S(\sigma)\sqrt{T_c-t},\qquad t\longrightarrow T_c.

The claim identifies higher-dimensional standing-ring collapse with one-dimensional supercritical peak collapse; the parser supplies no resolution evidence, so it remains open.
