Questions, not proof records

Open-problem statements, with their sources attached.

Each statement record keeps the mathematical question, a dated status source, accessible references, and any pinned Lean formulation separate from proof verification.

“Open” is a dated source assertion. In these pinned sources, sorry marks an admitted statement, not a proof. Source indexing does not mean the formulation has been independently built or certified by Therefore.

Navier-Stokes existence and smoothness

For three-dimensional incompressible flow, determine whether tu+(u)u=p+νΔu\partial_tu+(u\cdot\nabla)u=-\nabla p+\nu\Delta u with u=0\nabla\cdot u=0 always has a global smooth solution, or exhibit finite-time breakdown.

Yang-Mills existence and mass gap

For every compact simple gauge group GG, construct a nontrivial quantum Yang-Mills theory on R4\mathbb{R}^4 whose spectrum has a positive mass gap Δ>0\Delta>0.
