Barceló–Bennett–Carbery–Rogers conjecture on wave-equation divergence sets

At least 4 years old · documented by

Let d≥3d\geq 3 and, for s>0s>0, define

Dd(s):=sup⁡f∈Hs(Rd)dim⁡HDd(f),\mathcal D_d(s):=\sup_{f\in H^s(\mathbb R^d)}\dim_H\mathfrak D_d(f),

where

Dd(f):={x:eit−Δf(x)↛f(x) as t→0}\mathfrak D_d(f):=\{x:e^{it\sqrt{-\Delta}}f(x)\not\to f(x)\text{ as }t\to 0\}

and dim⁡H\dim_H denotes Hausdorff dimension. Barceló–Bennett–Carbery–Rogers conjecture.

Dd(s)={d−2s,1≤s≤d2,d+2−4s,12<s≤1.\mathcal D_d(s)=\begin{cases}d-2s,&1\leq s\leq \frac d2,\\d+2-4s,&\frac12<s\leq 1.\end{cases}

The quantity Dd(s)\mathcal D_d(s) measures the largest possible Hausdorff dimension of the divergence set for initial data in Hs(Rd)H^s(\mathbb R^d). The formula is known in dimension two, while the higher-dimensional case stated here remains open in the supplied source.
