OpenAI reports stable blowup for defocusing Schrödinger flow on a torus

For arbitrarily large odd nonlinear powers, some Sobolev index k>8 admits a nonempty open set of Hᵏ initial data on the twelve-dimensional torus whose defocusing nonlinear Schrödinger solutions undergo classical finite-time self-similar blowup.

Read the background

For arbitrarily large odd nonlinear powers, some Sobolev index k>8 admits a nonempty open set of Hᵏ initial data on the twelve-dimensional torus whose defocusing nonlinear Schrödinger solutions undergo classical finite-time self-similar blowup.

Why it matters

If correct, gives stable finite-time blowup in a defocusing energy-supercritical nonlinear Schrödinger equation.

What counts as progress

Can high-regularity open sets of data blow up for a defocusing supercritical Schrödinger equation?
