A Spectral–Entropy Threshold Framework for Regularity and Blow-up in the Navier–Stokes Equations: The SAPZ Principle (v4.3r1)

Key Points

This research aims to establish a framework linking spectral properties and entropy thresholds to the regularity and blow-up in Navier–Stokes equations.
Utilized a mollified trace–energy functional to analyze regularity.
Developed a Riccati-type normal form with ε-independent coefficients.
Established a critical threshold criterion for regularity using limiting behavior of the trace energy.
Proved that uniform-scale SAPZ subcriticality ensures regularity via a closure chain.
Demonstrated that loss of regularity leads to reaching the critical threshold.
Provided an example showing nonemptiness in critical small-data regimes, certifying an isolated PDE target.

Abstract

# TitleA Spectral–Entropy Threshold Framework for Regularity and Blow-up in the Navier–Stokes Equations: The SAPZ Principle (v4. 3r1) # OverviewThis record releases a two-paper set: - **Main paper (PDF): ** *A Spectral–Entropy Threshold Framework for Regularity and Blow-up in the Navier–Stokes Equations: The SAPZ Principle*- **Companion (PDF): ** *Auxiliary Proof Modules for the SAPZ Singularity Principle* The framework centers on the mollified trace–energy functional\_ (t): =ₗ_ | u (y, t) |²\, _ (x-y) \, dy, (t): = ₀_ (t), a Riccati-type normal form with \ (\) -independent coefficients that yields a canonical critical threshold\c=² y_+, _+ = b+b²+4ac2a. \ # What is proved vs. what remains (referee-facing) - **Criterion-level (proved as an interface): ** Uniform-scale SAPZ subcriticality implies regularity/continuation via the companion closure chain (Gate A ⇒ kinematic CKN-exclusion ⇒ Gate B). - **Necessity (contrapositive form): ** Any finite-time loss of regularity forces threshold reach \ (ₓ ₓ^- (t) c\). - **Single Clay-level PDE completion target (isolated): ** The averaged strict-margin input **CT3- (A3) ** is explicitly isolated as the only remaining PDE target. Route T (transport-bypass) is the preferred blueprint: it reduces CT3- (A3) to a one-page trigger statement plus standard Littlewood–Paley / spectral-gap / commutator micro-lemmas. # Nonvacuity example (theorem-level) To show the acceptance test is nonempty, the main paper includes a theorem-level example: in standard critical small-data regimes (e. g. \ (L³\) or \ (BMO^-1\) ), classical smoothing implies \ (ₓ ₓ䃐 (t) 12c\) for sufficiently small data, hence CT3- (A3) is automatically certified on every finite horizon \ (t₀, T\). # Files in this record- SAPZSingularityPrincipleNavier-Stokesᵥ4. 3r1. pdf- AuxProofᵥ4. 3r1. pdf # KeywordsNavier–Stokes; global regularity; blow-up; Leray–Hopf solutions; Caffarelli–Kohn–Nirenberg; ε-regularity;Riccati inequality; Littlewood–Paley; commutators; threshold criterion; spectral entropy. # AuthorLee Byoungwoo
