Spacetime bounds for the mass-critical generalized KdV equation

Let uu solve the mass-critical generalized KdV equation on R×R{\mathbb R}\times{\mathbb R}, let u0Lx2(R)u_0\in L^2_x({\mathbb R}) be its initial data, let M(u0)M(u_0) denote its mass, and let QQ be the ground state. In the focusing case assume M(u0)<M(Q)M(u_0)<M(Q). Spacetime-bounds conjecture. The defocusing mass-critical generalized KdV is globally well-posed for arbitrary initial data u0Lx2(R)u_0\in L^2_x({\mathbb R}). In the focusing case, the same conclusion holds for initial data with M(u0)<M(Q)M(u_0)<M(Q). In both cases, the global solution satisfies

uLx5Lt10(R×R)C(M(u0)).\|u\|_{L_x^5L_t^{10}({\mathbb R}\times{\mathbb R})}\leq C(M(u_0)).

These bounds would establish global well-posedness and scattering at the mass-critical regularity, and would also imply strong stability. The supplied status is unknown, so the conjecture remains open in the database.
