A Lean 4 research formalization of a continuation strategy for the three-dimensional incompressible Navier–Stokes equations on ℝ³, centered on explicit H³ energy estimates, a Landau/Gagliardo–Nirenberg transport analysis, and a Fourier/heat-semigroup restart construction.
The repository also contains a positive multiplicative/logarithmic representation layer. Where the logarithmic bridge is available, that layer is related back to ordinary real-valued PDE quantities; it should be read as an alternative formal representation, not as a shortcut around the classical analytic difficulties.
The whole-space analytic machinery used by the explicit Landau estimate has been substantially internalized.
The repository now includes machine-checked proofs of:
Point3, obtained through expanding smooth cutoffs;The transport estimate has the concrete coefficient
| T_H³(t) | ≤ 4422 h(t) E_{H³}(t) |
with the bookkeeping decomposition
0 + 6 + 18 + 4398 = 4422
4398 = 24 + 4374
4374 = 729 · 6
The collision cases in the third-order derivative sums are handled explicitly; the proof does not assume that several potentially identical H³ summands can each be charged independently to the total energy.
The lower-order whole-space transport integration-by-parts packages are no longer independent assumptions.
From canonical H³ data and the velocity-gradient envelope, the repository derives:
At order three, the canonical PDE pairing package already gives integrability of the full differentiated transport pairing. The exact decomposition
D³u · D³((u · ∇)u) = D³u · C₃ + D³u · (u · ∇D³u)
combined with independently proved commutator-pairing integrability recovers integrability of the pure transported-third-derivative pairing.
Accordingly, the verified Landau tail interface has been reduced to
H3ThirdDerivativeTransportFluxVanishesAt u t
∧
VelocityGradientEnvelope u h t
at each strict tail time.
In other words, the transport-side whole-space frontier is no longer a collection of order-zero-through-three IBP assumptions. It has been reduced to the top-order boundary-at-infinity cancellation together with the gradient envelope.
The active development immediately beyond that verified reduction is aimed at internalizing the L¹-integrability of the top-order flux divergence from the already available PDE pairing data, without introducing an artificial D⁴u ∈ L² requirement.
The restart/classicalization side is much further developed than the older monolithic H3SchwartzCanonicalRestartClassicalization description suggests.
The spectral construction includes:
The later physical-tail development factors classicalization and continuation into explicit local pieces rather than one opaque frontier. It contains pressure-free weak formulations, spatial integration by parts against real Schwartz tests, selected/old weak–strong comparison, temporal weak FTC identities, endpoint continuity reductions, and physical H³ L²-jet arguments.
A particularly important later reduction proves that, under the retained canonical H³ tail hypotheses,
full physical H³ L²-jet continuity ↔ scalar physical H³-energy continuity.
The pressure-free curl / weak-FTC route now supplies the abstract continuation statement H3ControlProducesExtension from the terminal H³ control side, so the Landau-facing continuation theorem no longer needs a separate abstract local-well-posedness or restart-lifespan hypothesis.
The current Landau/BKM factorization still exposes several major mathematical interfaces as hypotheses.
H3SeedProducesEnergyClassPromotes a finite H³ seed into the high-order preterminal energy class used by the later energy argument.
EnergyClassProducesCanonicalH3DataProduces the canonical H³ tail package used by the explicit transport, PDE-pairing, and continuation machinery.
EnergyClassProducesLandauTransportAnalyticSupplies the remaining Landau tail data. After the recent transport reductions, its transport content is concentrated at the top-order scalar-flux cancellation together with the velocity-gradient envelope.
VorticityControlsGradientLogarithmicallyThe BKM/Landau endpoint estimate converting vorticity control into the velocity-gradient control required by the H³ growth inequality.
SeededPreterminalNavierStokesForcesVorticityL1LinfThe genuinely global a-priori statement that every seeded preterminal solution has the required finite L¹ₜL∞ₓ-type vorticity control.
This last proposition is intentionally isolated in the source. It is not asserted as a theorem. Even after the continuation/restart machinery is closed, proving this a-priori statement would be a separate global-regularity problem.
With the first four interfaces supplied, the repository proves the seeded vorticity criterion implies extension. To conclude that every seeded preterminal solution extends, the additional a-priori vorticity interface is still required.
