Abstract

In 1934, Leray proved the existence of global-in-time weak solutions to the Navier-Stokes equations for any divergence-free initial data in L2L^2. In the 1980s, Giga and Kato independently showed that there exist global-in-time mild solutions corresponding to small enough critical L3(R3)L^3(\mathbb{R}^3) initial data. In 1990, Calder\'on filled the gap to show that there exist global-in-time weak solutions for all supercritical initial data in LpL^p for 2<p<32< p<3 by utilising a splitting argument, blending the constructions of Leray and Giga-Kato. In this paper, we utilise a "Calder\'on-like" splitting to show the global-in-time existence of weak solutions to the Navier-Stokes equations corresponding to supercritical Besov space initial data u0B˙q,su_0 \in \dot{B}^{s}_{q,\infty} where q>2q>2 and 1+2q<s<min(1+3q,0)-1+\frac{2}{q}<s<\min \left(-1+\frac{3}{q},0 \right), which fills a similar gap between Leray and known mild solution theory in the Besov space setting. We also use the Calder\'on-like splitting to investigate the structure of the singular set under a Type-I blow-up assumption in the Besov space setting, which is considerably rougher than in previous works.
