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

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.
