Scattering conjecture for critical NLS

Consider the L2L^2-critical nonlinear Schrödinger equation

itu+xxu=μup1u,-i\partial_tu+\partial_{xx}u=\mu|u|^{p-1}u,

with p=5p=5 and μ=±1\mu=\pm1, where u:I×RCu:I\times\mathbf{R}\to\mathbf{C} is a Schwartz solution on a compact time interval II. Let M(u)M(u) denote the conserved mass and let QQ be the ground state.

Scattering conjecture for critical NLS. 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

uLt,x6(I×R)fμ(M(u)).\|u\|_{L^6_{t,x}(I\times\mathbf{R})}\leq f_\mu(M(u)).

This is the nonlinear analogue of the global Strichartz estimate for the free Schrödinger equation and would imply global control and scattering below the ground-state mass in the focusing case. The source presents the conjecture as open and notes that its small-mass case follows from the well-posedness theory.
