TL;DR

This paper introduces Sobolev-Fourier-Lorentz spaces and proves local and global well-posedness results for the Navier-Stokes equations with initial data in these critical spaces, extending the understanding of solution existence.

Contribution

It defines Sobolev-Fourier-Lorentz spaces and establishes existence of solutions to Navier-Stokes equations in these spaces, including global solutions under small initial data.

Findings

Existence of local mild solutions for initial data in critical Sobolev-Fourier-Lorentz spaces.

Global mild solutions exist when initial data norm is sufficiently small.

Extension of well-posedness theory to new function spaces for Navier-Stokes equations.

Abstract

In this note, for $s \in \mathbb R$ and $1 \leq p, r \leq \infty$, we introduce and study Sobolev-Fourier-Lorentz spaces $\dot{H}^s_{\mathcal{L}^{p, r}}(\mathbb{R}^d)$. In the family spaces $\dot{H}^s_{\mathcal{L}^{p, r}}(\mathbb{R}^d)$, the critical invariant spaces for the Navier-Stokes equations correspond to the value $s = \frac{d}{p} - 1$. When the initial datum belongs to the critical spaces $\dot{H}^{\frac{d}{p} - 1}_{\mathcal{L}^{p,r}}(\mathbb{R}^d)$ with $d \geq 2, 1 \leq p <\infty$, and $1 \leq r < \infty$, we establish the existence of local mild solutions to the Cauchy problem for the Navier-Stokes equations in spaces $L^\infty([0, T]; \dot{H}^{\frac{d}{p} - 1}_{\mathcal{L}^{p, r}}(\mathbb{R}^d))$ with arbitrary initial value, and existence of global mild solutions in spaces $L^\infty([0, \infty); \dot{H}^{\frac{d}{p} - 1}_{\mathcal{L}^{p, r}}(\mathbb{R}^d))$ when the norm of the initial value in the Besov spaces $\dot{B}^{\frac{d}{\tilde p} - 1, \infty}_{\mathcal{L} ^{\tilde p,\infty}}(\mathbb{R}^d)$ is small enough, where $\tilde p$ may take some suitable values.
