Abstract: In the paper we study the problem of the isotropic realizability in R^2 of a regular strain field e(U)=1/2(DU+DU^T) for the incompressible Stokes equation, namely the existence of a positive viscosity mu extgreater{}0 solving the Stokes equation in R^2 with the prescribed field e(U). We show that if e(U) does not vanish at some point, then the isotropic realizability holds in the neighborhood of that point. The global realizability in R^2 or in the torus is much more delicate, since it involves the global existence of a regular solution to a semilinear wave equation the coefficients of which depend on the derivatives of U. Using the semilinear wave equation we prove a small perturbation result: If DU is periodic and close enough to its average for the C^4-norm, then the strain field is isotropically realizable in a given disk centered at the origin. On the other hand, a counter-example shows that the global realizability in R^2 may hold without the realizability in the torus, and it is discussed in connection with the associated semilinear wave equation. The case where the strain field vanishes is illustrated by an example. The singular case of a rank-one laminate field is also investigated.
