Conjectured conormal regularity for Type I singularity formation
Conjectured conormal regularity for Type I singularity formation
Let , and let be a solution arising from smooth initial data in the stated Type I self-similar stability results, with singularity formation renormalised to . Write for the corresponding self-similar solution, for the backward light cone, and let denote products of the listed vector fields of order . Type I regularity conjecture. There exists , depending on the equation, such that for every and every , the following estimates hold on :
for the wave-map equation with , and
for the equation with and . These estimates assert the additional conormal and regularity needed for the exterior stability argument. The conjecture concerns precise quantitative control not supplied by the preceding stability theorem, and its resolution is not indicated here.
