Abstract: In 2016, Seregin and u{S}ver'ak, conceived a notion of global in time solution (as well as proving existence of them) to the three dimensional Navier-Stokes equation with L3 solenoidal initial data called 'global L3 solutions'. A key feature of global L3 solutions is continuity with respect to weak convergence of a sequence of solenoidal L3 initial data. The first aim of this paper is to show that a similar notion of ' global dotB4,inftyfrac14 solutions' exists for solenoidal initial data in the wider critical space dotB4,inftyfrac14 and satisfies certain continuity properties with respect to weak* convergence of a sequence of solenoidal dotB4,inftyfrac14 initial data. This is the widest such critical space if one requires the solution to the Navier-Stokes equations minus the caloric extension of the initial data to be in the global energy class. For the case of initial values in the wider class of dotBp,infty1+frac3p initial data (p>4), we prove that for any 0<T<infty there exists a solution to the Navier-Stokes system on mathbbR3imes]0,T[ with this initial data. We discuss how properties of these solutions imply a new regularity criteria for 3D weak Leray-Hopf solutions in terms of the norm |v(cdot,t)|dotBp,infty1+frac3p (as well as certain additional assumptions). The main new observation of this paper, that enables these results, regards the decomposition of homogeneous Besov spaces dotBp,infty1+frac3p. This does not appear to obviously follow from the known real interpolation theory.
