How statement and proof provenance work
The first chip identifies the source of the statement or construction; the second identifies the source of its local proof or verification.
- Literature-sourced: the exact statement appears in a cited source; only wording and notation differ.
- AI-adapted: a semantically identical restatement of literature-sourced material, modulo indexing, notation, and boundary cases adopted by the library.
- AI-generated: a genuinely novel statement formulated by AI, with no source for the claim itself.
These labels describe origin, not correctness: citations and verification chips remain separate evidence.
Exact transverse plane waves, the sheared single mode, and the Taylor-Green vortex in the periodic models
Example
Work on with the normalized measure and the operators of Periodic vector Sobolev spaces on the three-torus, the weight family, and the Leray projection: has symbol , has symbol , and kills gradient fields.
(a) Transverse plane waves, inviscid and viscous. Let , with , and put . Then , , , and for every the field is a smooth global solution of with , and a solution of the primitive system with . For the field is stationary; the Galerkin coefficient of the mode satisfies the scalar equation .
(b) The sheared single mode. For , part (a) gives : the viscous decay of a shear flow, whose -image is itself because the field is divergence-free and is the orthogonal projection of onto (Periodic vector Sobolev spaces on the three-torus, the weight family, and the Leray projection).
(c) The Taylor-Green vortex. Write and Then , , and ; hence for every the pair solves the primitive system on , and solves the projected equation with because is a gradient field. In particular these solutions are global in time, so the finite time of Local smooth solutions of the periodic incompressible Euler and constant-viscosity equations on is not asserted to be sharp.
Verification
Given: The conventions of Periodic vector Sobolev spaces on the three-torus, the weight family, and the Leray projection: the Fourier identities and , the coefficient formula with for , the identity , and the fact that is the orthogonal projection onto , so for ; in particular whenever .
Part (a), nonlinear term: for one has , so because ; and .
Part (a), norms: are the only nonzero coefficients, so for every ; in particular the solution exists for all .
Part (c), divergence and Laplacian: , , so ; and , , likewise for the second component, so .
Part (c), nonlinear term and pressure: , while (because ); similarly . Hence .
Part (a), equation: with one has and ; since by step 1.1 and is linear with , the projected equation holds; the primitive equation holds with by Reconstruction of the periodic pressure from the velocity: and (whose defining formula gives when ). The Galerkin reduction is the one-dimensional ODE , since the mode is not mixed by the convolution.
Part (c), the equations: with and , one computes , (so ), and ; therefore . Since is a gradient, its -image vanishes, and the projected equation holds; this also shows the solution is global.
Remarks
These exact solutions show that the model equations admit global smooth solutions with special symmetry, and they verify the sign conventions and the projection/pressure reconstruction on explicit data. They are conditional mathematical solutions of the stated model equations; no claim is made that any of them describes a physical flow, and their global existence does not address the general global regularity problem recorded in Scope of the local periodic result: what is proved and what is not.
