Mass-critical cubic NLS scattering conjecture

Let μ=±1\mu=\pm1, and let w0Lx2(R2)w_0\in L^2_x(\mathbb{R}^2). In the focusing case assume M(w0)<M(Q)M(w_0)<M(Q). A solution scatters if there are w±Lx2w_\pm\in L^2_x with w(t)eitΔw±Lx20\|w(t)-e^{it\Delta}w_\pm\|_{L^2_x}\to0 as t±t\to\pm\infty. NLS conjecture. There exists a unique global solution ww to

iwt+Δw=μw2w,iw_t+\Delta w=\mu|w|^2w,

with w(0)=w0w(0)=w_0, satisfying

wLt,x4(R×R2)C(M(w0)).\|w\|_{L^4_{t,x}(\mathbb{R}\times\mathbb{R}^2)}\leq C(M(w_0)).

Consequently, ww scatters in both time directions. The supplied text states that this conjecture has been proved in the defocusing case and for spherically symmetric data in the focusing case.
