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 T3 with dx the normalized measure and the operators of Periodic vector Sobolev spaces on the three-torus, the weight family, and the Leray projection: ∂ju has symbol 2πikj, Δ has symbol −4π2∣k∣22, and P kills gradient fields.

(a) Transverse plane waves, inviscid and viscous. Let k∈Z3∖{0}, A∈R3 with A⋅k=0, and put u0(x):=Asin⁡(2πk⋅x). Then div⁡u0=0, (u0⋅∇)u0=0, Δu0=−4π2∣k∣22u0, and for every ν≥0 the field u(t,x):=e−4π2ν∣k∣22tAsin⁡(2πk⋅x) is a smooth global solution of ∂tu+P((u⋅∇)u)=νΔu with P((u⋅∇)u)=0, and a solution of the primitive system with p=0. For ν=0 the field u0 is stationary; the Galerkin coefficient of the mode k satisfies the scalar equation c′(t)=−4π2ν∣k∣22c(t).

(b) The sheared single mode. For k=e2, A=e1 part (a) gives u(t,x)=e−4π2νt(sin⁡(2πx2),0,0): the viscous decay of a shear flow, whose P-image is itself because the field is divergence-free and P is the orthogonal projection of H0 onto Hσ0 (Periodic vector Sobolev spaces on the three-torus, the weight family, and the Leray projection).

(c) The Taylor-Green vortex. Write θj:=2πxj and u0(x):=(sin⁡θ1cos⁡θ2, −cos⁡θ1sin⁡θ2, 0),p0(x):=14(cos⁡(2θ1)+cos⁡(2θ2)). Then div⁡u0=0, (u0⋅∇)u0=−∇p0, and Δu0=−8π2u0; hence for every ν≥0 the pair u(t,x):=e−8π2νtu0(x),p(t,x):=e−16π2νtp0(x) solves the primitive system ∂tu+(u⋅∇)u=−∇p+νΔu on [0,∞)×T3, and u solves the projected equation with P((u⋅∇)u)=0 because (u0⋅∇)u0=−∇p0 is a gradient field. In particular these solutions are global in time, so the finite time T of Local smooth solutions of the periodic incompressible Euler and constant-viscosity equations on T3 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 ∂jek=2πikjek and Δek=−4π2∣k∣22ek, the coefficient formula Pu^(k)=πku^(k) with πkv=v−k⋅v∣k∣22k for k≠0, the identity P∇q=0, and the fact that P is the orthogonal projection onto Hσs, so Pu=u for u∈Hσs; in particular P(Asin⁡(2πk⋅x))=Asin⁡(2πk⋅x) whenever A⋅k=0.

1.1givenalgebra

Part (a), nonlinear term: for u0=Asin⁡(2πk⋅x) one has ∂ju0=2πkjAcos⁡(2πk⋅x), so (u0⋅∇)u0=2π(A⋅k)cos⁡(2πk⋅x) Asin⁡(2πk⋅x)=0 because A⋅k=0; and div⁡u0=2π(A⋅k)cos⁡(2πk⋅x)=0.

1.2givenalgebra

Part (a), norms: u^(t,±k)=±12ic(t)A are the only nonzero coefficients, so ∥u(t)∥Hm=∣c(t)∣ ∥u0∥Hm=e−4π2ν∣k∣22t∥u0∥Hm for every m; in particular the solution exists for all t≥0.

1.3givenalgebra

Part (c), divergence and Laplacian: ∂1u10=2πcos⁡θ1cos⁡θ2, ∂2u20=−2πcos⁡θ1cos⁡θ2, so div⁡u0=0; and ∂12u10=−(2π)2u10, ∂22u10=−(2π)2u10, likewise for the second component, so Δu0=−8π2u0.

1.4givenalgebra

Part (c), nonlinear term and pressure: (u0⋅∇)u10=u10∂1u10+u20∂2u10=2πsin⁡θ1cos⁡θ2cos⁡θ1cos⁡θ2+2πcos⁡θ1sin⁡θ2sin⁡θ1sin⁡θ2=2πsin⁡θ1cos⁡θ1=πsin⁡2θ1, while −∂1p0=−14(−2⋅2πsin⁡2θ1)=πsin⁡2θ1 (because ∂1cos⁡2θ1=−2⋅2πsin⁡2θ1); similarly (u0⋅∇)u20=πsin⁡2θ2=−∂2p0. Hence (u0⋅∇)u0=−∇p0.

2.1step 1.1given

Part (a), equation: with c(t):=e−4π2ν∣k∣22t one has ∂tu=∂tc Asin⁡(2πk⋅x) and νΔu=cν(−4π2∣k∣22)Asin⁡(2πk⋅x)=∂tu; since (u(t)⋅∇)u(t)=c(t)2(u0⋅∇)u0=0 by step 1.1 and P is linear with P0=0, the projected equation holds; the primitive equation holds with p=0 by Reconstruction of the periodic pressure from the velocity: ∇p=−(I−P)((u⋅∇)u) and Δp=−∑i,j∂i∂j(uiuj) (whose defining formula gives p=0 when (u⋅∇)u=0). The Galerkin reduction is the one-dimensional ODE c′=−4π2ν∣k∣22c, since the mode k is not mixed by the convolution.

3.1step 1.3step 1.4given∎

Part (c), the equations: with u(t)=e−8π2νtu0 and p(t)=e−16π2νtp0, one computes ∂tu=−8π2νu, νΔu=νe−8π2νt(−8π2u0)=−8π2νu (so ∂tu−νΔu=0), and (u⋅∇)u=e−16π2νt(u0⋅∇)u0=−e−16π2νt∇p0=−∇p; therefore ∂tu+(u⋅∇)u=−∇p+νΔu. Since (u⋅∇)u is a gradient, its P-image vanishes, and the projected equation ∂tu=νΔu−P((u⋅∇)u)=νΔu 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.
