In this talk, we exhibit two distinct Leray solutions with zero initial velocity and identical body force.  Building on a recent work of Vishik, we construct a linear unstable self-similar solution to the 3D Navier-Stokes with force. We employ the linear instability of the latter to build the second solution, which is a trajectory on the unstable manifold, in accordance with the predictions of Jia and Šverák. -- Indico :: Email Notifier https://events.dm.unipi.it/e/100
