Abstract: In our recent work dedicated to the Boussinesq equations [Danchin and Zhang 2016], we established the persistence of solutions with piecewise constant temperature along interfaces with H"older regularity. We here address the same problem for the inhomogeneous Navier-Stokes equations satisfied by a viscous incompressibleand inhomogeneous fluid. We establish that, indeed, in the slightly inhomogeneous case, patches of densities with mathcalC1,varepsilon regularity propagate for all time. As in [Danchin and Zhang 2016], our result follows from the conservation of H"older regularityalong vector fields moving with the flow. The proof of that latter result is based on commutator estimates involving para-vector fields, and multiplier spaces. The overall analysis is more complicated than in [Danchin and Zhang 2016] however, since the coupling between the mass and velocity equations in the inhomogeneous Navier-Stokes equations is emph{quasilinear} while it is linear for the Boussinesq equations.
