Understanding the problem

Read the background

The manuscript reports smooth compactly supported divergence-free initial data on R³ whose unforced three-dimensional incompressible Euler solution has finite maximal lifespan, with unbounded velocity gradient and divergent time integral of maximum vorticity.

Why it matters

If correct, resolves the smooth whole-space unforced Euler finite-time breakdown target, beyond forced or lower-regularity variants.

What counts as progress

A sourced result with the exact hypotheses, baseline, and AI role stated; verification is assessed separately.

What to watch for

  • Compare the precise theorem and hypotheses with the previous baseline.
  • Read the checking scope and retain human and prior-work attribution.
