Tao highlights blowup breakthrough for Euler and related equations, formalized in Lean
MannyKayy · x · 2026-09-08
Terence Tao covers new work by Alpöge and Buckmaster (building on Córdoba and Martínez-Zoroa) demonstrating finite-time blowup with smooth forcing for the IPM, 2D Boussinesq, and 3D incompressible Euler equations — a path likely extending to Navier-Stokes. The proofs were formalized in Lean via autoformalization agents. The poster also argues Tao's AI advocacy reshaped mathematicians' perception of AI.
