Abstract It is shown that the nonstationary Navier-Stokes equation (NS) in ℝ+×ℝ m is well posed in certain Morrey spacesM p,λ (ℝ+×ℝ m ) (see the text for the definition: in particularM p,0=L p ifp〉1 andM 1,0 is the space of finite measures), in the following sense. Given a vectora∈M p,m-p with diva=0 and with certain supplementary conditions, there is a unique local (in time) solution (velocity field)u(t, ·)∈M p, m-p, which is smooth fort〉0 and takes the initial valuea at least in a weak sense.u is a global solution ifa is sufficiently small. Of particular interest is the spaceM 1,m−1, which admits certain measures; thusa may be a surface measure on a smooth (m−1)- dimensional surface in ℝ+×ℝ m . The regularity of solutions and the decay of global solutions are also considered. The associated vorticity equation (for the vorticity ζ=∂∧u) can similarly be solved in (tensor-valued)M 1,m−2, which is also a space of measures of another kind.
