Abstract: This paper is concerned with the free boundary problem for the Navier Stokes equations without surface tension in the

L_{p}

in time and

L_{q}

in space setting with

2 < p < i n f t y

and

N < q < i n f t y

. A local in time existence theorem is proved in a uniform

W_{q}^{2 - 1 / q}

domain in the

N

-dimensional Euclidean space

{B b b R}^{N}

(

N g e q 2

) under the assumption that weak Dirichlet-Neumann problem is uniquely solvable. Moreover, a global in time existence theorem is proved for small initial data under the assumption that

O m e g a

is bounded additionally. This was already proved by Solonnikov cite{Sol1} by using the continuation argument of local in time solutions which are exponentially stable in the energy level under the assumption that the initial data is orthogonal to the rigid motion. We also use the continuation argument and the same orthogonality for the initial data. But, our argument about the continuation of local in time solutions is based on some decay theorem for the linearized problem, which is a different point than cite{Sol1}.

Review text

The author corrects and reproves his result presented in [\textit{Y. Shibata} and \textit{S. Shimizu}, Differ. Integral Equ. 20, No. 3, 241--276 (2007; Zbl 1212.35353)] by a different approach. The evolution of a domain \(\Omega \in \mathbb R^N\) (\(N \geq 2\)) is considered in time when the Navier-Stokes equations are given in \(\Omega\). It is assumed that the boundary of \(\Omega\) consists of two disjoint parts \(\Gamma\) and \(S_t\), where the non-slip condition is fulfilled on the fixed part \(\Gamma\). The zero tension and the zero velocity are given on the free part \(S_t\). The authors prove a local in time unique existence theorem for any initial data, and a global in time unique existence theorem for some small initial data.
