On persistence of spatial analyticity in the hyper-dissipative Navier-Stokes models

TL;DR
This paper addresses finite-time blow-up for the 3D hyper-dissipative Navier–Stokes system with exponent $β>1$ by ruling out a class of analytic blow-up profiles. Leveraging Grujić’s sparse-regime regularity theory and an ascending-chain mechanism for the chain of derivatives, it demonstrates that the analytic radius of the flow can outpace the sparseness scale as derivatives grow, provided monotone growth in the blow-up profile. Under assumptions (A1)-(A2) on the analytic structure and focus of the singularity, the authors prove that no finite-time singularity occurs at $T^*$, and the solution extends analytically beyond $T^*$. The result strengthens the understanding of regularity in the turbulent regime and provides a self-contained argument showing that a broad class of analytic blow-up candidates cannot form when $β>1$.
Abstract
The goal of this note is to demonstrate that as soon as the hyper-diffusion exponent is greater than one, a class of finite time blow-up scenarios consistent with the analytic structure of the flow (prior to the possible blow-up time) can be ruled out. The argument is self-contained, in spirit of the regularity theory of the hyper-dissipative Navier-Stokes system in turbulent regime developed by Grujic and Xu.
