Parabolic-orbit conjecture for supercritical wave solitons

Let Dpar\mathcal{D}^{\mathrm{par}} be a compactification of Minkowski space, let WsupW^{\mathrm{sup}} be the supercritical ground-state soliton, and let zR3z\in\mathbb{R}^3. Define

ypar±=x±zt2/3.y^{\pm}_{\mathrm{par}}=x\pm zt^{2/3}.

A parabolic-orbit conjecture. There exists a compactification Dpar\mathcal{D}^{\mathrm{par}} and a polyhomogeneous function ϕˉ\bar{\phi} on it solving the supercritical equation to (tr)N(t-r)^{-N} errors and satisfying

limtϕˉ(x,t)Wsup(ypar+)Wsup(ypar)L=0.\lim_{t\to\infty}\left\lvert \bar{\phi}(x,t)-W^{\mathrm{sup}}(y^+_{\mathrm{par}})-W^{\mathrm{sup}}(y^-_{\mathrm{par}})\right\rvert_{L^\infty}=0.

Moreover, the value of zz, up to rotational symmetry, is unique. This conjecture is motivated by the preceding construction of approximate supercritical multi-solitons and predicts a distinguished parabolic relative orbit; the supplied text gives no resolution.
