NLKG scattering conjecture below the ground-state threshold

Let μ=±1\mu=\pm1. Let (u0,u1)Hx1×Lx2(u_0,u_1)\in H^1_x\times L^2_x. In the focusing case, assume additionally that M(u0)<M(Q)M(u_0)<M(Q) and E(u0,u1)<E(Q)E(u_0,u_1)<E(Q), where QQ is the ground state. A solution scatters if there exist (u0±,u1±)Hx1×Lx2(u_0^\pm,u_1^\pm)\in H^1_x\times L^2_x such that its difference from the corresponding free Klein–Gordon evolution tends to zero in Hx1×Lx2H^1_x\times L^2_x as t±t\to\pm\infty. NLKG conjecture. There exists a global solution uu with initial data (u0,u1)(u_0,u_1) satisfying

uLtHx1+utLtLx2+uLt,x4C(E(u0,u1)),\|u\|_{L^\infty_tH^1_x}+\|u_t\|_{L^\infty_tL^2_x}+\|u\|_{L^4_{t,x}}\leq C(E(u_0,u_1)),

and consequently uu scatters both forward and backward in time. This is the expected global well-posedness and scattering statement for the two-dimensional cubic Klein–Gordon equation below the ground-state threshold; the supplied text gives no resolution status.
