Fractal Schrödinger Convergence Above Half Dimension
OpenAI's claim
Planar Schrödinger endpoint: The paper claims almost-everywhere convergence to the initial datum for planar free Schrödinger evolution at Sobolev order $1/3$; gaussian regularization is removed on a common full-measure spatial set before taking the time limit.Higher-dimensional Schrödinger endpoints: For every $n\ge3$, the claimed critical Sobolev order for almost-everywhere free Schrödinger convergence is $n/(2(n+1))$; the regularized evolution is asserted to have a common spatial representative throughout the positive time interval.
Mathematical statement of the claimed result
Mathematical claim 1.
In spatial dimension $2$ put $s=1/3$ and $U_af(x,t)=(2\pi)^{-n}\int_{\mathbb R^n}e^{ix\cdot\xi-it|\xi|^2-a|\xi|^2}\widehat f(\xi)\,d\xi$, using $n=2$ in the planar case. For every complex $f\in H^s(\mathbb R^n)$ the claim provides one full-measure set $E_f$ of Lebesgue points and a function $v$ continuous in $t\in[0,1)$, with $v(x,0)=f^*(x)$, such that \[\lim_{a\downarrow0}\sup_{0<t<1}|U_af(x,t)-v(x,t)|=0\quad(x\in E_f).\] Consequently the Gaussian-regularized Schrödinger evolution tends to the Lebesgue-point representative $f^*$ as $t\downarrow0$. The exceptional spatial set is independent of time.Mathematical claim 2.

The exceptional spatial set is independent of time.Outline of the argument
Planar Schrödinger endpoint: At unit frequency, a spatial measure on a measurable time graph is analyzed using transverse packets, sparse configurations, and a separate frame estimate. Flat-frequency and geometric reductions give a scale-uniform dyadic distribution bound. Endpoint summation and uniform approximation construct one representative of the evolution with the asserted limiting behavior.Higher-dimensional Schrödinger endpoints: Transverse packet fields are controlled by a frame count with polynomial dependence on transversality, combined with amplitude and occupancy hierarchies. Induction produces a short-time maximal estimate at precisely the critical frequency factor. A single time tree is used across frequencies for square summation, after which Gaussian approximation removes exceptional sets uniformly in time.
