The low-regularity local well-posedness conjecture for power nonlinear wave equations

Let n4n\geq 4, let 0s120\leq s\leq \frac12, and consider the power nonlinear wave equation

u=up.\Box u=u^p.

The initial data lie in Hs×Hs1H^s\times H^{s-1}. Local well-posedness conjecture. The equation u=up\Box u=u^p is locally well-posed in Hs×Hs1H^s\times H^{s-1} whenever

p(n+14s)n+54s.p\left(\frac{n+1}{4}-s\right)\leq \frac{n+5}{4}-s.

This claim concerns the range where the Xs,bX^{s,b} framework and bilinear estimates are used to improve on basic Strichartz bounds in dimensions n4n\geq4.
