Abstract

Building on the recent work of C. De Lellis and L. Sz\'{e}kelyhidi, we construct global weak solutions to the three-dimensional incompressible Euler equations which are zero outside of a finite time interval and have velocity in the H\"{o}lder class Ct,x1/5ϵC_{t,x}^{1/5 - \epsilon}. By slightly modifying the proof, we show that every smooth solution to incompressible Euler on (2,2)×T3(-2, 2) \times {\mathbb T}^3 coincides on (1,1)×T3(-1, 1) \times {\mathbb T}^3 with some H\"{o}lder continuous solution that is constant outside (3/2,3/2)×T3(-3/2, 3/2) \times {\mathbb T}^3. We also propose a conjecture related to our main result that would imply Onsager's conjecture that there exist energy dissipating solutions to Euler whose velocity fields have H\"{o}lder exponent 1/3ϵ1/3 - \epsilon.
