The forbidden physical mass interval conjecture for small-data global solvability

For the scalar semilinear equation, let nn denote the spatial dimension, mm the physical mass, and let the nonlinearity exponent satisfy α(0,)\alpha\in(0,\infty). Forbidden physical mass interval conjecture. The open interval

(n212,n2)\left(\frac{\sqrt{n^2-1}}{2},\frac n2\right)

is a forbidden physical mass interval for the small-data global solvability of the Cauchy problem for all α(0,)\alpha\in(0,\infty). This claim concerns the range of physical masses in which small-data global solvability is expected to fail uniformly over all positive nonlinear exponents; the supplied text does not establish its resolution.
