Uniqueness conjecture for fixed-mass energy minimizers

Let d2d\geqslant2 and p>q>1p>q>1, and let I(λ)I(\lambda) be the fixed-mass variational problem

I(λ)=inf{12Rdu2dx+1p+1Rdup+1dx1q+1Rduq+1dx: uH1(Rd)Lp+1(Rd), Rdu2dx=λ}.I(\lambda)=\inf\left\{\frac12\int_{\mathbb R^d}|\nabla u|^2\,dx+\frac{1}{p+1}\int_{\mathbb R^d}|u|^{p+1}\,dx-\frac{1}{q+1}\int_{\mathbb R^d}|u|^{q+1}\,dx:\ u\in H^1(\mathbb R^d)\cap L^{p+1}(\mathbb R^d),\ \int_{\mathbb R^d}|u|^2\,dx=\lambda\right\}.

Let λc\lambda_c denote the critical mass appearing in the variational theory. Uniqueness conjecture. I(λ)I(\lambda) admits a unique minimizer for all λλc\lambda\geqslant\lambda_c, respectively for all λ>λc\lambda>\lambda_c when q=1+4/dq=1+4/d. This would follow from the one-turning-point conjecture for MM. The source notes that uniqueness is understood at differentiability points and that the remaining global uniqueness assertion is conjectural.
