Critical-threshold conjecture for equivariant wave-map blowup
For , let be the unique self-similar solution with exactly one unstable mode. The stable manifold of is a codimension-one subset of the phase space of initial data.
Critical-threshold conjecture. For , the threshold of blowup is given by the codimension-one stable manifold of the self-similar solution .
This conjecture identifies the threshold separating different dynamical behaviors with the stable manifold of the one-unstable-mode self-similar profile. The source presents as the expected critical solution and supports the claim with numerical spectral computations, but gives no proof.
