Abstract: In this paper, we proved decay properties of solutions to the Stokes equations with surface tension and gravity in the half space $mathbf{R}_{+}^N=(x^{\prime },x_N)mid{x}^{\prime }inmathbf{R}^{N-1},x_N>0$ $(Ngeq2)$. In order to prove the decay properties, we first show that the zero points $lambd{a}_{p}m$ of Lopatinskii determinant for some resolvent problem associated with the Stokes equations have the asymptotics: $lambd{a}_{p}m=pmi{c}_g^{1/2}|x{i}^{\prime }{|}^{1/2}-2|x{i}^{\prime }{|}^2+O(|x{i}^{\prime }{|}^{5/2})$ as $|x{i}^{\prime }|o0$, where $c_g>0$ is the gravitational acceleration and $x{i}^{\prime }inmathbf{R}^{N-1}$ is the tangential variable in the Fourier space. We next shift the integral path in the representation formula of the Stokes semi-group to the complex left half-plane by Cauchy's integral theorem, and then it is decomposed into closed curves enclosing $lambd{a}_{p}m$ and the remainder part. We finally see, by the residue theorem, that the low frequency part of the solution to the Stokes equations behaves like the convolution of the $(N-1)$-dimensional heat kernel and $mathcal{F}_{x{i}^{\prime }}^{-1}[e^{pmi{c}_g^{1/2}|x{i}^{\prime }{|}^{1/2}t}](x^{\prime })$ formally, where $mathcal{F}_{x{i}^{\prime }}^{-1}$ is the inverse Fourier transform with respect to $x{i}^{\prime }$. However, main task in our approach is to show that the remainder part in the above decomposition decay faster than the residue part.
