We will show that in four and higher dimensions the axisymetric, swirl-free Euler equation has properties which could allow finite-time singularity formation of a form that is excluded in three dimensions. We will also consider a model equation that is obtained by taking the infinite-dimensional limit of the vorticity equation in this setup. This model exhibits finite-time blowup of a Burgers shock type. The blowup result for the infinite dimensional model equation heavily suggests that smooth solutions of the Euler equation exhibit finite-time blowup in sufficiently high dimensions.", "revisions": [ { "version": "v1", "updated": "2022-04-28T10:50:14.000Z" } ], "analyses": { "subjects": [ "35Q31", "76B47" ], "keywords": [ "higher dimensions", "swirl-free solutions", "swirl-free euler equation", "regularity", "axisymmetric" ], "note": { "typesetting": "TeX", "pages": 0, "language": "en", "license": "arXiv", "status": "editable" } } }
