The supercritical BNLS standing-ring blowup conjecture

Let ψ\psi be a singular standing-ring solution of the BNLS with d>1d>1 and σ>4\sigma>4. Let L(t)L(t) be the ring-region similarity scale, rmax(t)r_{\max}(t) its radius, and ψB\psi_B the ring profile. Supercritical BNLS standing-ring conjecture. The solution is self-similar in the ring region, with psisimpsiBpsisimpsi_B for rrmax=O(L)r-r_{\max}=\mathcal{O}(L); ψB(t,r)=ϕB(t,x=rrmax(t))\psi_B(t,r)=\phi_B(t,x=r-r_{\max}(t)), where ϕB\phi_B is the one-dimensional BNLS asymptotic profile with exponent σ\sigma. Moreover,

L(t)\simkappaB(σ)Tct4,tTc,L(t)\simkappa_{\rm B}(\sigma)\sqrt[4]{T_c-t},\qquad t\to T_c,

where κB(σ)>0\kappa_{\rm B}(\sigma)>0 is the parameter of the admissible BB profile. This predicts that standing-ring BNLS collapse has the same local dynamics as one-dimensional peak collapse; no resolution is supplied.
