Zenodo Preprint: Conditional Regularity for the Three-Dimensional Navier–Stokes Equations under Localized Vorticity-Direction Coherence

Full Proof program
Step 1: Define the disorder functional
Construct Aj(t)\mathcal A_j(t)Aj(t) so it detects vorticity-direction misalignment at dyadic scale 2−j2^{-j}2−j. The functional should be:
nonnegative,
scale-local,
and geometrically tied to the factor 1−(ξ(x)⋅ξ(y))21-(\xi(x)\cdot\xi(y))^21−(ξ(x)⋅ξ(y))2.
A canonical choice is
Aj(t)=∬ηj(x)ηj(y)(1−(ξ(x,t)⋅ξ(y,t))2)∣ω(x,t)∣ ∣ω(y,t)∣ dx dy.\mathcal A_j(t)=\iint \eta_j(x)\eta_j(y)\Bigl(1-(\xi(x,t)\cdot\xi(y,t))^2\Bigr)|\omega(x,t)|\,|\omega(y,t)|\,dx\,dy.Aj(t)=∬ηj(x)ηj(y)(1−(ξ(x,t)⋅ξ(y,t))2)∣ω(x,t)∣∣ω(y,t)∣dxdy.
Step 2: Decompose the strain dyadically
Write the vortex-stretching term shell by shell:
(Sω)⋅ω=∑jStretchj.(S\omega)\cdot\omega = \sum_j \mathsf{Stretch}_j.(Sω)⋅ω=j∑Stretchj.
Then isolate the angular defect inside each shell, so that the disorder functional appears explicitly in the local part.
Step 3: Prove coercivity
Show that the shellwise evolution of Aj\mathcal A_jAj contains a dissipative term Dj\mathcal D_jDj and that the nonlinear contributions can be bounded by a contractive multiple of the previous scale:
ddtAj+c0Dj≤θAj−1+εj.\frac{d}{dt}\mathcal A_j + c_0\mathcal D_j \le \theta \mathcal A_{j-1}+\varepsilon_j.dtdAj+c0Dj≤θAj−1+εj.
This is the core missing lemma. It would express “misalignment at a finer scale cannot be created faster than dissipation and coarse-scale control allow.”
Step 4: Deduce summability
If the recurrence holds with θ<1\theta<1θ<1 and summable εj\varepsilon_jεj, then iteration gives
∑j≥j0Aj(t)<∞.\sum_{j\ge j_0}\mathcal A_j(t)<\infty.j≥j0∑Aj(t)<∞.
That is the arithmetic closure mechanism.
Step 5: Convert summability to stretching depletion
Summable disorder implies the near-field vortex-stretching term becomes subcritical:
∫(Sω)⋅ω≲ε∥∇ω∥22+Cε(controlled remainder).\int (S\omega)\cdot\omega \lesssim \varepsilon\|\nabla\omega\|_2^2 + C_\varepsilon(\text{controlled remainder}).∫(Sω)⋅ω≲ε∥∇ω∥22+Cε(controlled remainder).
Step 6: Close enstrophy and continue
Insert the bound into the localized enstrophy identity, apply the continuation criterion, and bootstrap to higher Sobolev norms.
What the theorem must ultimately prove
For the proof program to work, the recurrence must come from the classical Navier–Stokes dynamics themselves, not from an imposed external regularizer. That means the main missing subgoal is:
derive a shell-to-shell contraction law for angular disorder from the transport–stretching–diffusion structure of the classical 3D equations.
That is the exact place where the argument currently stops.
Why this is the right formulation
It packages the entire problem into one theorem with a clear dependence chain:
dynamic depletion⇒summable disorder⇒subcritical stretching⇒global regularity.\text{dynamic depletion} \Rightarrow \text{summable disorder} \Rightarrow \text{subcritical stretching} \Rightarrow \text{global regularity}.dynamic depletion⇒summable disorder⇒subcritical stretching⇒global regularity.
That is as close as one can get to an unconditional closure statement without claiming a proof that is not yet established.
If you want, I can now write the three inner lemmas that would need to prove the theorem, each in manuscript style with the precise hypotheses and conclusions.
