Existence of planar pulsating traveling waves with whole-space periodicity

Let eSn1e\in\mathbb{S}^{n-1} and let cec_e^\star denote the critical speed in direction e-e. A planar pulsating traveling wave solution has speed cc, propagates in direction e-e, and is periodic in time and in the whole spatial domain. Existence conjecture. For every eSn1e\in\mathbb{S}^{n-1} and every ccec\geq c_e^\star, there exists a planar pulsating traveling wave solution in direction e-e with speed cc with time and whole-space periodicity. The preceding results establish this existence for rational directions and speeds, including the critical speed when it is rational; the conjecture asks whether the rationality restrictions can be removed.
