Scattering conjecture for critical gKdV

From papers

Consider the generalized Korteweg–de Vries equation with nonlinearity exponent p=5p=5 and sign μ=±1\mu=\pm1. Let M(u)M(u) denote the conserved mass and let QQ be the ground state. For a compact time interval II, let u:I×RRu:I\times\mathbf{R}\to\mathbf{R} be a Schwartz solution, meaning that uu is smooth and all spacetime derivatives of u(t)u(t) are Schwartz in space, locally uniformly in time.

Scattering conjecture for critical gKdV. There exist functions

f+:[0,+)[0,+),f:[0,M(Q))[0,+)f_+:[0,+\infty)\to[0,+\infty),\qquad f_-:[0,M(Q))\to[0,+\infty)

such that

uLx5Lt10(I×R)fμ(M(u)).\|u\|_{L^5_xL^{10}_t(I\times\mathbf{R})}\leq f_\mu(M(u)).

This conjecture would give strong global control and scattering for energy-class solutions in the defocusing case, or in the focusing case below the ground-state mass. It is known for sufficiently small mass, but was not known in general in the source.
