Abstract

In this paper, we consider the generalized Navier-Stokes equations with fritional dissipation (Δ)β(-\Delta)^{\beta} with β>12\beta>\frac{1}{2}. When β(1,2)\beta\in(1,2), We prove that smooth solutions of the generalized Navier-Stokes equations are non-unique with arbitrarily small initial data in B˙,1βα(Td)\dot{B}^{-\beta-\alpha}_{\infty,1}(\mathbb{T}^d) for any α>0\alpha>0. It is worth pointing out that the space B˙,1βα(Td)\dot{B}^{-\beta-\alpha}_{\infty,1}(\mathbb{T}^d) is subcritical for 0<α<β10<\alpha<\beta-1. To the best of our knowledge, this is the first non-uniqueness result of Navier-Stokes equations with initial data at the critical regularity. To show the sharpness of the above results, for β>12\beta>\frac{1}{2}, we establish the local well-poseness of the generalized Navier-Stokes equations with small initial data in B˙,βα(Td)\dot{B}^{-\beta-\alpha}_{\infty,\infty}(\mathbb{T}^d) with α<0\alpha<0 and αβ1\alpha\leq\beta-1.
