Local-in-time well-posedness is established in the framework of $L_p$-$L_q$-maximal regularity. We characterize the set of equilibria as the set of all Killing vector fields on $\\Sigma$ and we show that each equilibrium on $\\Sigma$ is stable. Moreover, it is shown that any solution starting close to an equilibrium exists globally and converges at an exponential rate to a (possibly different) equilibrium as time tends to infinity.", "revisions": [ { "version": "v1", "updated": "2020-05-02T13:30:27.000Z" } ], "analyses": { "subjects": [ "35Q35", "35Q30", "35B40" ], "keywords": [ "navier-stokes equations", "equilibrium", "exponential rate", "solution starting close", "maximal regularity" ], "note": { "typesetting": "TeX", "pages": 22, "language": "en", "license": "arXiv", "status": "editable" } } }
