Navier-Stokes Equations on Quantum Euclidean Spaces

Abstract

We investigate in the present paper the Navier-Stokes equations on quantum Euclidean spaces $\mathbb{R}^d_θ$ with $θ$ being a $d\times d$ antisymmetric matrix, which is a standard example of non-compact noncommutative manifolds. The quantum analogues of Ladyzhenskaya and Kato's results are established, that is, we obtain the global well-posedness in the 2D case and the local well-posedness with solution in $L_d(\mathbb{R}^d)$ in higher dimensions. To achieve these optimal results, we develop the related theory of harmonic analysis and function spaces on $\mathbb{R}^d_θ$, and apply the sharp estimates around noncommutative $L_p$-spaces to quantum Navier-Stokes equations. Moreover, our techniques, which are independent of the deformed parameter $θ$, allow us to conclude some results on the semiclassical limits. This is the first instance of systematical applications to the theory of quantum partial differential equations of the powerful real analysis techniques around noncommutative $L_p$-spaces, which date back to the seminal work \cite{PiXu97} in 1997 on noncommutative martingale inequalities. As in classical case, one may expect numerous similar applications in the future.
