The one-third regularity threshold for Euler solutions with anomalous diffusion
The one-third regularity threshold for Euler solutions with anomalous diffusion
Let . Let be a weak solution of the incompressible Euler equations, for some Hölder exponent . Assume that, for every initial condition , the family of solutions of the passive scalar equation with velocity field displays anomalous diffusion continuously in time: the anomalous-diffusion condition holds and the time dissipation measure is non-atomic. One-third regularity threshold conjecture. Then
The conjecture asserts that the Onsager-critical exponent is a rigidity threshold for Lagrangian turbulent diffusion: anomalous diffusion for every initial condition should be incompatible with Euler velocity fields having Hölder regularity above . Its resolution would connect anomalous scalar dissipation with Onsager super-criticality, while the stated implication remains open.
