Abstract: We consider the hydrodynamics for biaxial nematic phases described by a field of orthonormal frame, which can be derived from a molecular-theory-based tensor model. We prove the uniqueness of global weak solutions to the Cauchy problem of the frame hydrodynamics in dimensional two. The proof is mainly based on the suitable weaker energy estimates within the Littlewood--Paley analysis. We take full advantage of the estimates of nonlinear terms with rotational derivatives on $SO(3)$, together with cancellation relations and dissipative structures of the biaxial frame system.
