Abstract

We study the 3D hyperdissipative Navier-Stokes equations on the torus, where the viscosity exponent α\alpha can be larger than the Lions exponent 5/45/4. It is well-known that, due to Lions [55], for any L2L^2 divergence-free initial data, there exist unique smooth Leray-Hopf solutions when α5/4\alpha \geq 5/4. We prove that even in this high dissipative regime, the uniqueness would fail in the supercritical spaces LtγWxs,pL^\gamma_tW^{s,p}_x, in view of the generalized Lady\v{z}enskaja-Prodi-Serrin condition. The non-uniqueness is proved in the strong sense and, in particular, yields the sharpness at two endpoints (3/p+12α,,p)(3/p+1-2\alpha, \infty, p) and (2α/γ+12α,γ,)(2\alpha/\gamma+1-2\alpha, \gamma, \infty). Moreover, the constructed solutions are allowed to coincide with the unique Leray-Hopf solutions near the initial time and, more delicately, admit the partial regularity outside a fractal set of singular times with zero Hausdorff Hη\mathcal{H}^{\eta_*} measure, where η>0\eta_*>0 is any given small positive constant. These results also provide the sharp non-uniqueness in the supercritical Lebesgue and Besov spaces. Furthermore, the strong vanishing viscosity result is obtained for the hyperdissipative Navier-Stokes equations.
