Eyink's anomalous-dissipation conjecture for viscosity solutions of 2D Euler

Let uu,abla×uu=abla×uu\boldsymbol{u}^ u,\boldsymbol{ abla}\boldsymbol{\times}\boldsymbol{u}^ u=\boldsymbol{ abla}\times\boldsymbol{u}^ u be a sequence of 2D Navier–Stokes solutions satisfying the paper's estimate (u-besov), and let abla×u\boldsymbol{ abla}\times\boldsymbol{u} be the limiting 2D Euler vorticity, as supplied by Theorem 3. For hH2h\in\mathcal{H}_2, define the mollified defect Zh,ε(ω)Z_{h,\varepsilon}(\omega) as in the paper. Anomalous-dissipation conjecture. The distributional limit

Zh(ω)=limε0Zh,ε(ω)Z_h(\omega)=\lim_{\varepsilon\rightarrow 0}Z_{h,\varepsilon}(\omega)

exists for every hH2h\in\mathcal{H}_2, and, for hH2C2h\in\mathcal{H}_2\cap C^2, equals the vanishing-viscosity limit

Zh(ω)=limν0νh(ων)ων2.Z_h(\omega)=\lim_{\nu\rightarrow 0}\nu h”(\omega^\nu)|\boldsymbol{\nabla}\omega^\nu|^2.

For every such convex hh, Zh(ω)Z_h(\omega) is a nonnegative measure, and there exists a suitable 2D Euler solution for which Zh(ω)>0Z_h(\omega)>0 for a convex hH2h\in\mathcal{H}_2. This conjecture seeks a rigorous defect-measure formulation of enstrophy dissipation for distributional Euler solutions; the source does not establish these assertions.
