User questions formal proof of Navier-Stokes blow-up in Lean

A user on Reddit is seeking clarification regarding the formalization of the Navier-Stokes blow-up result using the Lean proof assistant. The user questions whether the compact support of the force function is proven or postulated within the Lean code, as the formalization appears to conditionally assume this property rather than derive it. They are looking for specific pointers to where this proof might exist in the Lean code or the associated analytic paper, and how the construction prevents the force's support from expanding infinitely.

    Question about the Lean formalization of the recent Navier–Stokes blow-up result: is compact support of the force postulated rather than proved?

    <!-- SC_OFF --><div class="md"><p>Hi all,</p> <p>I’m trying to understand the recent Lean formalization of the claimed finite-time blow-up for 3D Navier–Stokes with forcing. I’m not a Lean expert, so I may be misreading the code.</p> <p>In the formalization, CandidateProperties s…
