Abstract: The Navier-Stokes equation on the Euclidean space $mathbf{R}^3$ can be expressed in the form $partia{l}_{t}u=Deltau+B(u,u)$, where $B$ is a certain bilinear operator on divergence-free vector fields $u$ obeying the cancellation property $langleB(u,u),uangle=0$ (which is equivalent to the energy identity for the Navier-Stokes equation). In this paper, we consider a modification $partia{l}_{t}u=Deltau+ildeB(u,u)$ of this equation, where $ildeB$ is an averaged version of the bilinear operator $B$ (where the average involves rotations and Fourier multipliers of order zero), and which also obeys the cancellation condition $langleildeB(u,u),uangle=0$ (so that it obeys the usual energy identity). By analysing a system of ODE related to (but more complicated than) a dyadic Navier-Stokes model of Katz and Pavlovic, we construct an example of a smooth solution to such a averaged Navier-Stokes equation which blows up in finite time. This demonstrates that any attempt to positively resolve the Navier-Stokes global regularity problem in three dimensions has to use finer structure on the nonlinear portion $B(u,u)$ of the equation than is provided by harmonic analysis estimates and the energy identity. We also propose a program for adapting these blowup results to the true Navier-Stokes equations.
