We have decided to discontinue the publication of preprints on our preprint server as of 1 March 2024. The publication culture within mathematics has changed so much due to the rise of repositories such as ArXiV (www.arxiv.org) that we are encouraging all institute members to make their preprints available there. An institute's repository in its previous form is, therefore, unnecessary. The preprints published to date will remain available here, but we will not add any new preprints here.

On solutions to the Navier-Stokes equations with lower bounds on pressure
Gregory A. Seregin and Vladimír Šverák
Abstract
We prove that weak solutions of the three-dimensional incompressible Navier-Stokes equations are smooth if the negative part of the pressure is controlled, or if the positive part of the quantity $|v|^2 + 2p$ is controlled.
