Scattering below the ground state for the Zakharov system

Let (f,g)H1×L2(f,g)\in H^1\times L^2 satisfy

4EZ(f,g)<QH˙12,gL2QH˙1.4\mathcal{E}_Z(f,g)<\|Q\|_{\dot{H}^1}^2, \qquad \|g\|_{L^2}\leqslant \|Q\|_{\dot{H}^1}.

Here EZ\mathcal{E}_Z denotes the Zakharov energy and QQ is the ground state. Scattering below the ground state conjecture. There exists a unique global solution (u,V)C(R,H1×L2)(u,V)\in C(\mathbb{R},H^1\times L^2) to the Zakharov system with initial data (u,V)(0)=(f,g)(u,V)(0)=(f,g) such that

uLt2Wx12,4(R1+4)<.\|u\|_{L^2_tW^{\frac{1}{2},4}_x(\mathbb{R}^{1+4})}<\infty.

This conjecture would establish scattering for all energy-space data below the ground-state threshold in four dimensions. The surrounding results provide global well-posedness below this threshold and scattering criteria, while the required finiteness of the dispersive Strichartz norm is not known in general; scattering is known in the radial case.
