Onsager's conjecture for the 3D incompressible Euler equations

From papers

Consider the 3D incompressible Euler equations on [0,T]×T3[0,T]\times \mathbb{T}^3. A weak solution is understood in the usual distributional sense, and CβC^{\beta} denotes the Hölder space of exponent β\beta. Onsager's conjecture. (a) Any weak solution uu belonging to

Cβ([0,T]×T3)C^{\beta}([0,T]\times \mathbb{T}^3)

for β>1/3\beta>1/3 conserves kinetic energy, meaning that u(t)L2\|u(t)\|_{L^2} is conserved in time. (b) For any β<1/3\beta<1/3, there exist weak solutions

uCβ([0,T]×T3)u\in C^{\beta}([0,T]\times \mathbb{T}^3)

which dissipate kinetic energy. The first assertion was fully proven by Constantin, E, and Titi in 1994 using a commutator argument; the second assertion is the anomalous-dissipation part of Onsager's conjecture and has since been established by convex integration. In this paper, the corresponding energy-conservation threshold is confirmed for the stochastic 3D Euler equations.
