By interpolation, such solutions belong to $C^0_tB^{s}_{3,\\infty}$ for $s$ approaching $\\frac 13$ as $\\beta$ approaches $\\frac 12$. Hence this result provides a new proof of the flexible side of the Onsager conjecture, which is independent from that of Isett [A proof of Onsager's conjecture, Annals of Mathematics, 188(3):871, 2018]. Of equal importance is that the intermittent nature of our solutions matches that of turbulent flows, which are observed to possess an $L^2$-based regularity index exceeding $\\frac 13$. Our proof builds on the authors' previous joint work with Buckmaster and Masmoudi [Nonconservative $H^{\\frac 12-}$ weak solutions of the incompressible 3D Euler equations, arXiv 2101.09278, 2021], in which an intermittent convex integration scheme is developed for the 3D incompressible Euler equations. We employ a scheme with higher-order Reynolds stresses, which are corrected via a combinatorial placement of intermittent pipe flows of optimal relative intermittency.", "revisions": [ { "version": "v1", "updated": "2022-03-24T15:16:02.000Z" } ], "analyses": { "keywords": [ "intermittent onsager theorem", "3d incompressible euler equations", "intermittent convex integration scheme", "intermittent pipe flows", "higher-order reynolds stresses" ], "note": { "typesetting": "TeX", "pages": 54, "language": "en", "license": "arXiv", "status": "editable" } } }
