Stable blowup for the defocusing Schrödinger equation

For a sufficiently large odd nonlinearity power, constructs a nonempty open set of initial data in Hk(T12)H^k(\mathbb T^{12}), with k > 8, whose solutions of the scalar defocusing nonlinear Schrödinger equation blow up in finite time. Thus finite-time blowup is stable under Sobolev perturbations in this supercritical regime.
