On the localization of symmetric and asymmetric solutions of the Navier-Stokes equations in $$\mathbb{R}^n$$. (English. Abridged French version) Zbl 0973.35149
Summary: The aim of this note is to present some results on the space-time decay of solutions of the Navier-Stokes equations in $$\mathbb{R}^n$$, with data $$u(0)= a$$. We show that the localization condition $$L^1(\mathbb{R}^n,(1+|x|) dx)$$ is instantaneously lost, during the Navier-Stokes evolution, if the data has non-orthogonal components with respect to the $$L^2$$ inner product. We also show that some supplementary symmetries of small initial data allow us to obtain global strong solutions of the Navier-Stokes equations with an over-critical decay, both pointwise and of the energy norm.
