Supercritical BNLS peak-type singularity conjecture
Supercritical BNLS peak-type singularity conjecture
Let be a peak-type singular solution of the supercritical BNLS, let be its collapsing length scale, let be the collapse time, and set . Define
Let be the self-similar profile, let be the ground-state profile from the stationary equation, let be the Hamiltonian, and let . Supercritical BNLS peak-type singularity conjecture. The collapsing core approaches
where
The profile satisfies
with
It differs from the ground state, , and is the unique admissible solution with unique for which is monotonically decreasing and
The blowup rate is exactly quartic-root:
and
Thus is universal and independent of the initial condition. This is a comprehensive formal conjecture about supercritical peak-type collapse, combining the predicted profile, its asymptotics, uniqueness, and the universal quartic-root rate. The source supplies no resolution.
