Abstract: It is known that in a classical setting, the Navier--Stokes equations can be reformulated in terms of so-called magnetization variables w that satisfy �egin{equation}label{Abs_magform} partial_tw + (mathbb{P} w cdot

abla)w + ( abla mathbb{P} w)^ op w - Delta w =0, end{equation} and relate to the velocity u via a Leray projection u=mathbbPw. We will prove the equivalence of these formulations in the setting of weak solutions that are also in Linfty(0,T;H1/2)capL2(0,T;H3/2) on the 3-dimensional torus. Our main focus is the proof of global well-posedness in H1/2 for a new variant of this system, where mathbbPw is replaced by w in the second nonlinear term: �egin{equation}label{Abs_Simplified} partial_tw + (mathbb{P} w cdot abla)w + frac{1}{2}

abla|w|^2- Delta w =0. end{equation} This is based on a maximum principle, analogous to a similar property of the Burgers equations.
