Abstract: In this paper, the three-dimensional (3D) isentropic compressible Navier-Stokes equations with degenerate viscosities ( extbf{ICND}) is considered in both the whole space and the periodic domain. First, for the corresponding Cauchy problem, when shear and bulk viscosity coefficients are both given as a constant multiple of the density's power (hodelta with 0<delta<1), based on some elaborate analysis of this system's intrinsic singular structures, we show that the Linfty norm of the deformation tensor D(u) and the L6 norm of ablahodelta1 control the possible breakdown of regular solutions with far field vacuum. This conclusion means that if a solution with far field vacuum of the extbf{ICND} system is initially regular and loses its regularity at some later time, then the formation of singularity must be caused by losing the bound of D(u) or ablahodelta1 as the critical time approaches. Second, under the additional assumption that the shear and second viscosities (respectively mu(ho) and lambda(ho)) satisfy the BD relation lambda(ho)=2(mu(ho)homu(ho)), if we consider the corresponding problem in some periodic domain and the initial density is away from the vacuum, it can be proved that the possible breakdown of classical solutions can be controlled only by the Linfty norm of D(u). It is worth pointing out that, except the conclusions mentioned above, another purpose of the current paper is to show how to understand the intrinsic singular structures of the fluid system considered now, and then how to develop the corresponding nonlinear energy estimates in the specially designed energy space with singular weights for the unique regular solution with finite energy.
