Abstract
OpenAI~\cite{OpenAIManuscript} has recently announced a proof of finite time singularity formation for the 3D Navier-Stokes equations, in the presence of a $C^\infty$-smooth body force. The construction in~\cite{OpenAIManuscript} has a few key features, among which we single out: (i) the angular mean of the solution satisfies specific Type II bounds which are anisotropic; (ii) the solution is exactly axisymmetric in a collapsing core region. In this paper we consider solutions of the 3D Navier-Stokes equations in the presence of a real-analytic body force, and assume that these solutions satisfy properties (i) and (ii) above. We prove that such solutions are in fact regular at the putative singular point. As a consequence, in the construction of~\cite{OpenAIManuscript}, and in any construction with properties (i) and (ii) whose force remains bounded in $C^2$ up to the singular time, the force can neither vanish identically near the singular point, nor be real analytic in the space variables, locally uniformly in time. The main idea of the proof is inspired by our earlier work~\cite{CIV26} and the companion paper~\cite{CIVEulerLength}: zooming-in at the putative singularity using the anisotropic length scales provided by the a priori bounds, we arrive at ancient limits whose PDE evolution imposes additional rigidity.
