Finite time blowup with smooth forcing term for the incompressible porous medium, Boussinesq, and incompressible Euler equations

·Terry Tao··

There’s some exciting very recent work by Alpöge and Buckmaster, building upon prior work by Córdoba and Martínez-Zoroa, in the general topic around the infamous global regularity problem for the incompressible three-dimensional Navier-Stokes equations. It is now widely expected that it should be possible to construct smooth initial data and smooth forcing term that would make these equations develop singularities in finite time; and it should even be possible to do without the forcing term. Whi...
