Audit review
The paper proves, for 1D viscous Burgers on the torus with additive cylindrical Lévy forcing (bounded jumps, space-smooth coefficients βk ≍ λk^{-γ0}, γ0>1), the bifractal structure-function law and k^{-2} layer-averaged energy spectrum in the same inertial/dissipation ranges as in the Gaussian case. It builds on: (i) well-posedness and mass conservation, (ii) Lévy–Itô energy identities and ν-uniform time–ensemble Sobolev bounds ⟨⟨‖u‖_{H^n}^{2n}⟩⟩ ≍ ν^{-(2n−1)} and ⟨⟨‖∂xu‖_2^2⟩⟩ ≍ ν^{-1}, (iii) Oleinik–Kruzhkov one-sided bounds to control upslopes, and (iv) the usual Parseval/shell-averaging step for the spectrum. The candidate model solution follows the same four-step route and matches the statements and scalings proved in the paper; any differences are not substantive.
Referee report (LaTeX)
\textbf{Recommendation:} minor revisions
\textbf{Journal Tier:} specialist/solid
\textbf{Justification:}
The paper rigorously extends sharp Burgers small-scale turbulence estimates to cylindrical Lévy drivers with bounded jumps. It develops the pathwise well-posedness framework, employs the Lévy–Itô formula for energy balances, proves ν-uniform time–ensemble Sobolev bounds, and combines Oleinik’s one-sided inequality with a careful increment analysis to obtain the bifractal structure functions and k\^{-2} layer-averaged spectrum. The arguments are correct and well-grounded. Minor clarifications (explicit increment–Parseval identity use, constant dependencies) would further aid readability.
