abstract

Inspired by the numerical evidence of a potential 3D Euler singularity \cite{luo2014potentially,luo2013potentially-2}, we prove finite time blowup of the 2D Boussinesq and 3D axisymmetric Euler equations with smooth initial data of finite energy and boundary. There are several essential difficulties in proving finite time blowup of the 3D Euler equations with smooth initial data. One of the essential difficulties is to control a number of nonlocal terms that do not seem to offer any damping effect. Another essential difficulty is that the strong advection normal to the boundary introduces a large growth factor for the perturbation if we use weighted $L^2$ or $H^k$ estimates. We overcome this difficulty by using a combination of a weighted $L^\infty$ norm and a weighted $C^{1/2}$ norm, and develop sharp functional inequalities using the symmetry properties of the kernels and some techniques from optimal transport. Moreover we decompose the linearized operator into a leading order operator plus a finite rank operator. The leading order operator is designed in such a way that we can obtain sharp stability estimates. The contribution from the finite rank operator to linear stability can be estimated by constructing approximate solutions in space-time. This enables us to establish nonlinear stability of the approximate self-similar profile and prove stable nearly self-similar blowup of the 2D Boussinesq and 3D Euler equations with smooth initial data and boundary.

  1. The energy of fractional Allen--Cahn layers in dimension one

    math.AP 2026-08 conditional novelty 7.0 of 10

    The energy of the one-dimensional fractional Allen-Cahn layer is continuous and strictly decreasing in the fractional exponent s, with an explicit pole at s=1/2 and an explicit linear expansion at s=1.

    On the origin-H2 realization, the CLM collapse linearization has essential spectrum Re λ = -1/2 and point spectrum {0,1}, hence a spectral gap 1/2; weaker L2 realizations fill the whole strip.
