Let u be a weak solution of the Navier-Stokes equations in a smooth bounded domain Ω ⊆ ℝ³ and a time interval [0,T), 0 < T ≤ ∞, with initial value u₀, external force f = div F, and viscosity ν > 0. As is well known, global regularity of u for general u₀ and f is an unsolved problem unless we pose additional assumptions on u₀ or on the solution u itself such as Serrin’s condition | | u | | L s ( 0 , T ; L q ( Ω ) ) < where 2/s + 3/q = 1. In the present paper we prove several local and global regularity properties by using assumptions beyond Serrin’s condition e.g. as follows: If the norm | | u | | L r ( 0 , T ; L q ( Ω ) ) and a certain norm of F satisfy a ν-dependent smallness condition, where Serrin’s number 2/r + 3/q > 1, or if u satisfies a local leftward L s - L q -condition for every t ∈ (0,T), then u is regular in (0,T).
