Global scattering conjecture for one-dimensional cubic defocusing dispersive flows

In one spatial dimension, consider a dispersive flow with a cubic defocusing nonlinearity and sufficiently small initial data.

Global scattering conjecture. Such initial data should give rise to a solution that exists globally in time and scatters.

This conjecture proposes a common global well-posedness and scattering principle for one-dimensional cubic defocusing dispersive equations without any localization assumption on the initial data. The paper establishes this conclusion for particular equations, while the broad formulation remains open in general.
