Classification of minimal-mass blowup solutions

Let u0Lx2(Rd)u_0 \in L_x^2(\mathbb{R}^d) satisfy M0(u0)=M0(Q0)M_0(u_0)=M_0(Q_0). Suppose uu is a maximal-lifespan solution of the equation in the source with maximal lifespan II, and suppose it blows up in the sense that

uLt,x2(d+2)d(I×Rd)=.\|u\|_{L_{t,x}^{\frac{2(d+2)}{d}}(I\times\mathbb{R}^d)}=\infty.

Here Q0Q_0 is the ground-state profile, M0M_0 denotes the mass, and a soliton solution is a global solution of the displayed form below. A pseudo-conformal transformation of the soliton solution is a solution of the second displayed form, with the parameters specified there.

Classification of minimal-mass blowup solutions. Only the following two cases occur:

  1. I=(,)I=(-\infty,\infty) and there exist λ>0\lambda>0, γ[0,2π]\gamma\in[0,2\pi], and (x~,ξ)Rd×Rd(\tilde{x},\xi)\in\mathbb{R}^d\times\mathbb{R}^d such that
u(t,x)=eiγitξ2eiλ2teixξλd2Q0(λ(x2tξ)x~).u(t,x)=e^{i\gamma-it|\xi|^2}e^{i\lambda^2t}e^{ix\cdot\xi}\lambda^{\frac d2}Q_0\left(\lambda(x-2t\xi)-\tilde{x}\right).
  1. I=(,T)I=(-\infty,T) or (T,)(T,\infty) for some TRT\in\mathbb{R}, and there exist λ>0\lambda>0, γ[0,2π]\gamma\in[0,2\pi], and (x~,ξ)Rd×Rd(\tilde{x},\xi)\in\mathbb{R}^d\times\mathbb{R}^d such that
u(t,x)=λd2Ttd2eiγeixξ24(tT)eiλ2tTQ0(λ(xξ)(Tt)x~Tt).u(t,x)=\frac{\lambda^{\frac d2}}{|T-t|^{\frac d2}}e^{i\gamma}e^{\frac{i|x-\xi|^2}{4(t-T)}}e^{i\frac{\lambda^2}{t-T}}Q_0\left(\frac{\lambda(x-\xi)-(T-t)\tilde{x}}{T-t}\right).

The preceding results establish only sequential convergence, whereas this conjecture asserts a complete classification of all minimal-mass blowup solutions and their precise time dependence.
