Résumé : In a joint work with Maria Colombo and Luigi De Rosa we consider the Cauchy problem for the ipodissipative Navier-Stokes equations, where the classical Laplacian $-\Delta$ is substited by a fractional Laplacian $(-\Delta)^\alpha$. Although a classical Hopf approach via a Galerkin approximation shows that there is enough compactness to construct global weak solutions satisfying the energy inequality à la Leray, we show that such solutions are not unique when $\alpha$ is small enough and the initial data are not regular. Our proof is a simple adapation of the methods introduced by Laszlo Székelyhidi and myself for the Euler equations. The methods apply for $\alpha < \frac{1}{2}$, but in order to show that they produce Leray solutions some more care is needed and in particular we must take smaller exponents.
