TL;DR

This paper proves the existence of global solutions and non-uniqueness for the 3D Navier-Stokes equations driven by space-time white noise, using advanced probabilistic and analytical techniques.

Contribution

It introduces a novel combination of paracontrolled calculus and convex integration to establish global non-unique solutions for stochastic 3D Navier-Stokes equations.

Findings

Global-in-time solutions exist with space regularity at most -1/2-κ.

Solutions are non-unique and non-unique in law.

Applicable to initial conditions in L^2 and certain Besov spaces.

Abstract

We establish global-in-time existence and non-uniqueness of probabilistically strong solutions to the three dimensional Navier--Stokes system driven by space-time white noise. In this setting, solutions are expected to have space regularity at most $-1/2-\kappa$ for any $\kappa>0$. Consequently, the convective term is ill-defined analytically and probabilistic renormalization is required. Up to now, only local well-posedness has been known. With the help of paracontrolled calculus we decompose the system in a way which makes it amenable to convex integration. By a careful analysis of the regularity of each term, we develop an iterative procedure which yields global non-unique probabilistically strong paracontrolled solutions.Our result applies to any divergence free initial condition in $L^{2}\cup B^{-1+\kappa}_{\infty,\infty}$, $\kappa>0$, and implies also non-uniqueness in law.
