Abstract

We prove instantaneous and continuous-in-time loss of supercritical Sobolev regularity for the 3D incompressible Euler equations in R3\mathbb{R}^{3}. Namely, for any s(0,3/2)s\in (0,3/2) and ε>0\varepsilon >0, we construct a divergence-free initial vorticity ω0\omega_0 defined in R3\mathbb{R}^{3} satisfying ω0Hsε\| \omega_0 \|_{H^s}\leq \varepsilon, as well as T>0T>0, c>0c>0 and a corresponding local-in-time solution ω\omega such that, for each t[0,T]t\in [0,T], ω(,t)Hsct1+ct\omega (\cdot ,t ) \in {H^{\frac{s-ct}{1+ct}}} and ω(,t)∉Hβ \omega (\cdot ,t ) \not \in {H^\beta } for any β>sct1+ct\beta > \frac{s-ct}{1+ct} . Moreover, ω\omega is unique among all solutions with initial condition ω0\omega_0 which are locally C2C^2 and belong to C([0,T];Lp)C([0,T];L^p ) for any p>3p>3 .
