Abstract

We prove Liouville type of theorems for weak solutions of the Navier-Stokes and the Euler equations. In particular, if the pressure satisfies pL1(0,T;L1(RN)) p\in L^1 (0,T; L^1 (\Bbb R^N)) with RNp(x,t)dx0\int_{\Bbb R^N} p(x,t)dx \geq 0, then the corresponding velocity should be trivial, namely v=0v=0 on RN×(0,T)\Bbb R^N \times (0,T). In particular, this is the case when pL1(0,T;H1(RN))p\in L^1 (0,T; \mathcal{H}^1 (\Bbb R^N)), where H1(RN)\mathcal{H}^1 (\Bbb R^N) the Hardy space. On the other hand, we have equipartition of energy over each component, if pL1(0,T;L1(RN))p\in L^1 (0,T; L^1 (\Bbb R^N)) with RNp(x,t)dx<0\int_{\Bbb R^N} p(x,t)dx <0. Similar results hold also for the magnetohydrodynamic equations.
