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

About 13 years old · traced to

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

(n2−12,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.
