Critical norm conjecture for defocusing inter-critical nonlinear Schrödinger equations

Consider the defocusing Schrödinger initial value problem for u:I×RdCu:I\times\mathbb{R}^{d}\to\mathbb{C},

(it+ΔRd)u=F(u)=upu,u(0,x)=u0H˙sc(Rd),(i\partial_t+\Delta_{\mathbb{R}^{d}})u=F(u)=|u|^{p}u,\qquad u(0,x)=u_0\in\dot{H}^{s_c}(\mathbb{R}^{d}),

where sc0s_c\geq 0 and p=4d2scp=\frac{4}{d-2s_c}. The critical norm conjecture asserts that if

suptIu(t)H˙sc(Rd)<,\sup_{t\in I}\|u(t)\|_{\dot{H}^{s_c}(\mathbb{R}^{d})}<\infty,

where II is the lifespan of uu, then the solution is globally well-posed and scatters. This conjecture formulates the expected continuation and scattering criterion for the defocusing inter-critical nonlinear Schrödinger equation; the paper studies scattering in a high-dimensional inter-critical regime, but the supplied text does not establish the conjecture in the full stated generality.
