Conjectured energy-supercritical Type II singularity formation
Let and let be the backward light cone. Let solve the relevant wave-map or semilinear equation, with the spatial dimension, the power, and the constant determined by
Let . Energy-supercritical Type II conjecture. For any and , there exists a wave-map solution with such that and is smooth across . Moreover, for and , after fixing as in the cited result and taking , there exists a solution of the semilinear equation such that
and is smooth across . The solutions are smooth for and have scale-critical norm bounded below as ; the source further allows finite regularity in place of smoothness. These conjectures describe Type II concentration around a singular self-similar exterior profile in the energy-supercritical regime. The supplied text cites constructions but explicitly presents the strengthened regularity formulation as conjectural, and gives no resolution evidence.
