Abstract

We consider the mass-critical generalized Korteweg--de Vries equation (t+xxx)u=±x(u5)(\partial_t + \partial_{xxx})u=\pm \partial_x(u^5) for real-valued functions u(t,x)u(t,x). We prove that if the global well-posedness and scattering conjecture for this equation failed, then, conditional on a positive answer to the global well-posedness and scattering conjecture for the mass-critical nonlinear Schr\"odinger equation (it+xx)u=±(u4u)(-i\partial_t + \partial_{xx})u=\pm (|u|^4u), there exists a minimal-mass blowup solution to the mass-critical generalized KdV equation which is almost periodic modulo the symmetries of the equation. Moreover, we can guarantee that this minimal-mass blowup solution is either a self-similar solution, a soliton-like solution, or a double high-to-low frequency cascade solution.
