Abstract

We study the regularity of a distributional solution (u,p)(u,p) of the 3D incompressible evolution Navier-Stokes equations. Let BrB_r denote concentric balls in R3\mathbb{R}^3 with radius rr. We will show that if pLm(0,1;L1(B2))p\in L^{m} (0,1; L^1(B_2)), m>2m>2, and if uu is sufficiently small in L(0,1;L3,(B2))L^{\infty} (0,1; L^{3,\infty}(B_2)), without any assumption on its gradient, then uu is bounded in B1×(110,1)B_1\times (\frac{1}{10},1). It is an endpoint case of the usual Serrin-type regularity criteria, and extends the steady-state result of Kim-Kozono to the time dependent setting. In the appendix we also show some nonendpoint borderline regularity criteria.
