Logarithmic critical-norm criterion for global scattering of cubic-wave solutions

Let uu be a solution of the cubic wave equation on its maximal interval [0,t+)[0,t_+), with initial data in H1/2\mathcal{H}^{1/2}. Logarithmic critical-norm criterion. There exists β>0\beta>0 such that, if

sup2t<t+u(t)H1/2(logt)β<,\sup_{2\leq t<t_+}\|\boldsymbol{u}(t)\|_{\mathcal{H}^{1/2}}(\log t)^{-\beta}<\infty,

then t+=t_+=\infty and uu scatters to a linear solution. This would give a logarithmic-growth threshold preventing finite-time blow-up and forcing scattering; the source presents it as conjectural and supplies no proof.
