Abstract

This paper considers the three dimensional Muskat problem in the stable regime. We obtain a conservation law which provides an L2L^2 maximum principle for the fluid interface. We also show global in time existence for strong and weak solutions with initial data controlled by explicit constants. Furthermore we refine the estimates from our paper \cite{PDPB} to obtain global existence and uniqueness for strong solutions with larger initial data than we previously had in 2D. Finally we provide global in time results in critical spaces, giving solutions with bounded slope and time integrable bounded curvature.
