Navier-Stokes meets Poincare-Dulac
Abstract: The Navier-Stokes equation is both a fundamental equation in Fluid
Mechanics and a rich source of challenging mathematical problems. One
of them is the global existence of "regular" solutions in the
three-dimensional case.
We will make a brief review of some outstanding open problems and
then focus on some recent results linking the asymptotics of the
Navier-Stokes solutions in a particular regime to the normal form
theory of Poincaré and Dulac.
