Blowup from C^{1,α} data in ℝ³

Statement

For sufficiently small α > 0 there is a C^{1,α} axisymmetric velocity without swirl on ℝ³ whose incompressible Euler solution forms a singularity in finite time.

Assumptions

  • Three-dimensional incompressible Euler equations.
  • Reported in the 2026 manuscript’s historical context.

Scope

Data less regular than smooth; the smooth-data question in ℝ³ is not settled by it.

    Elgindi (Annals 2021) proved finite-time blowup on ℝ³ for C^{1,α} axisymmetric velocities without swirl, for small α > 0. Córdoba and Martínez-Zoroa (2023) constructed finite-energy forced Euler solutions on ℝ³ that blow up. For smooth initial data, Chen and Hou (2022; rigorous numerics 2025) proved blowup in an axially periodic cylinder with an impermeable wall.
