Theorem · version 1

Global regularity in two dimensions

Statement

In two space dimensions, the analogues of assertions (A) and (B) hold: smooth data lead to global smooth solutions with bounded energy. The same holds for the Euler equations.

Assumptions

  • Two space dimensions.
  • Analogues of the unforced alternatives on the whole plane and the periodic torus.

Scope

A different dimension. The official description notes it gives no hint about three dimensions, where the main difficulties lie.

    Recorded wording

    In two dimensions the analogues of assertions (A) and (B) have long been known (Ladyzhenskaya), also for the Euler equations; the description notes this gives no hint about three dimensions.
