On the global existence and uniqueness of solution to 2-D inhomogeneous incompressible Navier-Stokes equations in critical spaces

Abstract

In this paper, we establish the global existence and uniqueness of solution to $2$-D inhomogeneous incompressible Navier-Stokes equations \eqref{1.2} with initial data in the critical spaces. Precisely, under the assumption that the initial velocity $u_0$ in $L^2 \cap\dot B^{-1+\frac{2}{p}}_{p,1}$ and the initial density $\rho_0$ in $L^\infty$ and having a positive lower bound, which satisfies $1-\rho_0^{-1}\in \dot B^{\frac{2}{\lambda}}_{\lambda,2}\cap L^\infty,$ for $p\in[2,\infty[$ and $\lambda\in [1,\infty[$ with $\frac{1}{2}<\frac{1}{p}+\frac{1}{\lambda}\leq1,$ the system \eqref{1.2} has a global solution. The solution is unique if $p=2.$ With additional assumptions on the initial density in case $p>2,$ we can also prove the uniqueness of such solution. In particular, this result improves the previous work in \cite{AG2021} where $u_{0}$ belongs to $\dot{B}_{2,1}^{0}$ and $\rho_0^{-1}-1$ belongs to $\dot{ B}_{\frac{2}{\varepsilon},1}^{\varepsilon}$, and we also remove the assumption that the initial density is close enough to a positive constant in \cite{DW2023} yet with additional regularities on the initial density here.
