Abstract: We prove a weak stability result for the three-dimensional homogeneous incompressible Navier-Stokes system. More precisely, we investigate the following problem : if a sequence (u0,n)ninN of initial data, bounded in some scaling invariant space, converges weakly to an initial data u0 which generates a global regular solution, does u0,n generate a global regular solution ? A positive answer in general to this question would imply global regularity for any data, through the following examples u0,n=nvf0(ncdot) or u0,n=vf0(cdotxn) with |xn|oinfty. We therefore introduce a new concept of weak convergence (rescaled weak convergence) under which we are able to give a positive answer. The proof relies on profile decompositions in anisotropic spaces and their propagation by the Navier-Stokes equations.
