Abstract

We consider the incompressible Navier-Stokes equation with a fractional power α[1,)\alpha\in[1,\infty) of the Laplacian in the three dimensional case. We prove the existence of a smooth solution with arbitrarily small in B˙,pα\dot{B}_{\infty,p}^{-\alpha} (2<p2<p \leq \infty) initial data that becomes arbitrarily large in B˙,s\dot{B}_{\infty,\infty}^{-s} for all s>0s> 0 in arbitrarily small time. This extends the result of Bourgain and Pavlovi\'{c} for the classical Navier-Stokes equation which utilizes the fact that the energy transfer to low modes increases norms with negative smoothness indexes. It is remarkable that the space B˙,α\dot{B}_{\infty,\infty}^{-\alpha} is supercritical for α>1\alpha >1. Moreover, the norm inflation occurs even in the case α5/4\alpha \geq 5/4 where the global regularity is known.
