Abstract

We consider the dynamics of spatially periodic nematic liquid crystal flows in the whole space and prove existence and uniqueness of local-in-time strong solutions using maximal L p -regularity of the periodic Laplace and Stokes operators and a local-in-time existence theorem for quasilinear parabolic equations à la Clément-Li (1993). Maximal regularity of the Laplace and the Stokes operator is obtained using an extrapolation theorem on the locally compact abelian group G : = ℝ n - 1 × ℝ / L ℤ to obtain an ℛ -bound for the resolvent estimate. Then, Weis’ theorem connecting ℛ -boundedness of the resolvent with maximal L p regularity of a sectorial operator applies.
