Dynamical critical-mass conjecture for the Hartree equation

Let tct_c be the critical mass for the stationary Hartree theory. Consider the time-dependent Hartree equation

itu=(Δx1+u2x1)u.\mathbf{i}\,\partial_tu=\left(-\Delta-|x|^{-1}+|u|^2*|x|^{-1}\right)u.

Dynamical Hartree conjecture. For every initial state u0H1(R3)u_0\in H^1(\mathbb{R}^3) and every R>0R>0,

lim supT1T0TxRu(x,t)2dxdttc.\limsup_{T\to\infty}\frac{1}{T}\int_0^T\int_{|x|\leqslant R}|u(x,t)|^2\,\mathrm{d}x\,\mathrm{d}t\leqslant t_c.

A weaker bound 4tc4t_c was proved by Lenzmann and Lewin; the asserted sharp bound remains open.
