Abstract

Work in progress (draft). Companion paper to the Lean 4/Mathlib repository. Proved unconditionally: H^3 BKM control and the periodic BKM criterion. Clay Statement (B) is proven only conditionally on the open named Prop PeriodicBKMIntegrability. Does NOT solve the Clay problem or prove Navier-Stokes regularity.
