Finite-time blowup conjecture for incompressible Euler flow on compact manifolds
Finite-time blowup conjecture for incompressible Euler flow on compact manifolds
Let be a compact Riemannian manifold of dimension . Let and be a smooth solution of the incompressible Euler equations
Finite-time blowup conjecture. There exists such a compact Riemannian manifold , of some dimension , and such a smooth solution that cannot be smoothly continued to the finite blowup time .
Finite-time singularity formation is a famous open problem even for the three-dimensional flat torus; this conjecture asks for an example on some compact Riemannian manifold and in some dimension greater than two.
