TITLE: Has Prof. Otelbaev shown existence of strong solutions for Navier-Stokes equations?
QUESTION [104 upvotes]: Moderator Notice: I am unilaterally closing this question for three reasons. 

The discussion here has turned too chatty and not suitable for the MSE framework. 
Given the recent pre-print of T. Tao (see also the blog-post here), the continued usefulness of this question is diminished.
The final update on this answer is probably as close to an "answer" an we can expect. 


Eminent Kazakh mathematician
Mukhtarbay Otelbaev, Prof. Dr. has published a full proof of the Clay Navier-Stokes Millennium Problem.
Is it correct?
See http://bnews.kz/en/news/post/180213/
A link to the paper (in Russian):

Mukhtarbay Otelbaev has published over 200 papers, had over 70 PhD students, and he is a member of the Kazak Academy of Sciences. He has published papers on Navier-Stokes and Functional Analysis.
please confine answers to any actual mathematical error found!
thanks

REPLY [3 votes]: I favor the Terry Tao version he uses Von Neuman criteria, this is a bit better and more elegant in my opinion.

I see from Otelbaev's http://enu.kz/repository/repository2013/articlemmf1.pdf, that he's made improvements.  I see where he comes from Hilbert (Banach) and Cauchy problem and uses Sobolev and Galerkins, still he makes the case for weak solutions, and then reiterates to claim strong solution.  However, if he's relying on boundedness and trilinears a,b to find optimal boundedness using strong-weak uniqueness using Serrin criterion this was done by Lemarie already.  Paraproduct issues aside Serrin criteria assumes Navier Stokes does not blow up, however, that is based on log inequalities from Wong which obtained them for earlier scholars.
I used Navier Stokes (NS) during my MSc thesis at Rice. At NASA-JSC though we applied different corrections to Navier Stokes though.
So I'd care to see merely a strong solution not just a Strong-Weak Uniqueness as other arguments have been claiming for years.
Which by the way Magnetohydrodynamic work with embedded theory, very much published already proves. Littlewood-Paley conjecture and Soboloev Embedding, Young's Inequalities, all these do break down you know! So then the key is has he solved the remaining open problem???? If so where are those answers.
What was provided is a repeat of all the MHD and electrolyte theory already in publication since 2004.
I mean in that case other groups have obtained prior answers that run around the same lines.
Is there an English translation as there are Chinese and Americans and myself that have similar findings from a Physics perspective.  
Also, what about the Terry Tao version with the Von Neuman criteria, this is a bit more elegant in my opinion.
Is Perelman contributing to this answer, I wonder where his comments would be?  I'm assuming he would also start discussing the need for saddle criteria, where is that in this paper here.
