General blowup conjecture for the L^2-critical boson star equation

Suppose that uC0([0,T);H1/2(R3))u \in C^0([0,T);H^{1/2}(\mathbb{R}^3)) solves the boson star equation with m0m\geqslant 0 and blows up at a finite time 0<T<+0<T<+\infty. Let uL2(R3)u^*\in L^2(\mathbb{R}^3) and μM(R3)\mu\in\mathcal M(\mathbb{R}^3) be the limiting profile and blowup measure from the nonradial blowup theorem. General blowup conjecture. There exist finitely many points x1,,xLR3\\{x_1,\ldots,x_L\\}\subset\mathbb{R}^3, with 1Lu02Mc1\leqslant L\leqslant \frac{\int |u_0|^2}{M_{\rm c}}, such that, as tTt\to T^-,

uu(t,)u strongly in L2(R31iLB(xi,R)) for all R>0,u u(t,\cdot)\to u_* \text{ strongly in }L^2\left(\mathbb{R}^3\setminus\bigcup_{1\leqslant i\leqslant L}B(x_i,R)\right)\text{ for all }R>0,

and

u(t,)2μ=1iLMiδx=xi+u2|u(t,\cdot)|^2\rightharpoonup \mu=\sum_{1\leqslant i\leqslant L}M_i\delta_{x=x_i}+|u_*|^2

weakly in M(R3)\mathcal M(\mathbb{R}^3), with MiMcM_i\geqslant M_{\rm c}. This conjecture describes the singular part of the blowup measure as finitely many point masses, each carrying at least the critical mass, while the solution converges strongly away from the singular points. It is inspired by the analogous Merle–Raphaël conjecture for the L2L^2-critical nonlinear Schrödinger equation; the supplied text does not state whether the conjecture has been resolved.
