Work in progress: A Lean-verified conditional reduction of periodic Navier-Stokes regularity on T^3 to a single integrability hypothesis
Year: 2026
Type: preprint
Abstract: Work in progress (draft). Lean 4/Mathlib formalization. Proved unconditionally: H^3 BKM control (periodicBKMHsControl_three) and the periodic BKM criterion (periodicBKMCriterion). Proved conditionally on the named Prop PeriodicBKMIntegrability (open; equivalent in difficulty to Clay Statement (B)): Clay_B_exact via clay_B_exact_of_integrability. Does NOT solve the Clay problem or prove Navier-Stokes regularity.

New version: corrected PDF (banner/DOI wording, updated status). Work in progress; does not solve the Clay problem. New version (v3): typeset with new LaTeX harness; claims unchanged. Work in progress; does not solve the Clay problem. New version (v4): adds the Oct 31 2026 bending-rate hidden-property hypothesis (open) and a proved breakdown of the Constantin-Fefferman step (algebraic depletion bound, L1 Gronwall); open steps remain named hypotheses. Work in progress; does not solve the Clay problem. New version: PeriodicH1TrilinearBound (Ladyzhenskaya-type estimate, explicit constant) and PeriodicMeanConservation now proved in Lean; small-data continuation depends only on the named PeriodicH1BlowupCriterion (not formalized). Work in progress; does not solve the Clay problem.
