For every ν > 0 there exist smooth divergence-free rapidly decaying initial velocity and a smooth force whose space-time derivatives decay faster than every inverse power, for which no global smooth incompressible Navier–Stokes velocity and pressure with uniformly bounded kinetic energy exist on ℝ³.
Assumptions
Every positive viscosity and whole-space domain ℝ³.
Smooth divergence-free initial data with all spatial derivatives rapidly decreasing.
Smooth external force with all space-time derivatives rapidly decreasing.
Uniformly bounded kinetic energy is part of the excluded global solution class.
Scope
Theorem 1.1 and official alternative C. The manuscript and complete formal theorem are source-reported; mathematical assessment remains pending.
Domain
Whole space ℝ³
Force
Smooth, rapidly decreasing in space-time
Viscosity
Every ν > 0
Data / conclusion
Rapidly decreasing smooth data; no global smooth solution with uniformly bounded energy
The formal theorem matches official alternative C with explicit decay/force and energy assumptions. The stronger from-rest compact singular-flow statement is separate and has no complete formalization asserted by this link. Metadata reports zero sorry and standard logical axioms only.

The official problem specifies alternatives A/B for unforced regularity and C/D for forced breakdown, with separate decay, periodicity and energy conditions.
