Deift's almost-periodic dynamics conjecture for the KdV equation

Let u(t,x)u(t,x) solve the KdV equation

tu+x3u+uxu=0.\partial_tu+\partial_x^3u+u\partial_xu=0.

Assume that the initial data u(0,x)u(0,x) is almost periodic in xx. Deift's conjecture. The solution u(t,x)u(t,x) is almost periodic in time tt and retains the same spatial almost periodicity as the initial data for all times. This conjecture concerns the long-time dynamics of KdV solutions with nondecaying almost-periodic initial data; the source presents it as a motivation for studying analogous existence, uniqueness, and asymptotic questions for nonlinear Schrödinger equations. Its resolution is not established in the supplied text.
