Abstract

We present a 5D-lifted analytic-profile program for finite-time singularity formation in the 3D incompressible Navier--Stokes equations on the periodic torus \T3\T^3. The core of the construction is a stationary rescaled profile \Ombar\Ombar satisfying a nonlinear elliptic fixed-point equation in an analytically weighted Hilbert space \Xspace\Xspace, together with a computer-assisted Newton--Kantorovich validation based on interval arithmetic. The profile is reconstructed into a nearly self-similar singular evolution and then transferred to \T3\T^3 by periodic extension and exact Leray projection. The manuscript is organized in the style of a computer-assisted proof paper, with theorem statements, proof packages, and explicit validation constants for the residual, inverse stability, and Lipschitz bounds.
