Spacetime bounds for the mass-critical nonlinear Schrödinger equation

Let vv solve the mass-critical nonlinear Schrödinger equation on R×R{\mathbb R}\times{\mathbb R}, let v0Lx2(R)v_0\in L^2_x({\mathbb R}) be its initial data, let M(v0)M(v_0) denote its mass, and let QQ be the ground state. In the focusing case assume M(v0)<265M(Q)M(v_0)<2\sqrt{\frac65}M(Q). Spacetime-bounds conjecture. The defocusing mass-critical nonlinear Schrödinger equation is globally well-posed for arbitrary initial data v0Lx2(R)v_0\in L^2_x({\mathbb R}). In the focusing case, the same conclusion holds for initial data with M(v0)<265M(Q)M(v_0)<2\sqrt{\frac65}M(Q). In both cases, the global solution satisfies

RRv(t,x)6dxdtC(M(v0)).\int_{\mathbb R}\int_{\mathbb R}|v(t,x)|^6\,dx\,dt\leq C(M(v_0)).

The source explicitly states that this is the natural global well-posedness and scattering conjecture and that it remains open. The spacetime bound is the critical global estimate encoding both properties.
