Abstract

We study local regularity properties of a weak solution uu to the Cauchy problem of the incompressible Navier-Stokes equations. We present a new regularity criterion for the weak solution uu satisfying the condition L(0,T;L3,w(R3))L^\infty(0,T;L^{3,w}(\mathbb{R}^3)) without any smallness assumption on that scale, where L3,w(R3)L^{3,w}(\mathbb{R}^3) denotes the standard weak Lebesgue space. As an application, we conclude that there are at most a finite number of blowup points at any singular time tt. The condition that the weak Lebesgue space norm of the veclocity field uu is bounded in time is encompassing type I singularity and significantly weaker than the end point case of the so-called Ladyzhenskaya-Prodi-Serrin condition proved by Escauriaza-Sergin-\v{S}ver\'{a}k.
