The below-scaling ill-posedness conjecture for semilinear wave equations

For a semilinear wave equation, let Hs×Hs1H^s \times H^{s-1} denote the Sobolev data space, and let s0s_0 be the scaling index determined by the equation's scaling. Below-scaling ill-posedness conjecture. Semilinear wave equations are ill-posed below scaling, that is, for s<s0s<s_0. Scaling heuristics suggest that a small-data, small-time result below the scaling index would rescale into a large-data, large-time result, but no proof of this ill-posedness was known to the author.
