Abstract
We show that if u is a suitable weak solution of the unforced three-dimensional Navier-Stokes equations corresponding to a divergence-free initial condition in H-1/2(Omega), then the Lagrangian trajectory through almost every initial condition in Omega is unique for all t >= 0. This is a corollary of two subsidiary results: (i) if S is the singular set of some suitable weak solution of the three-dimensional Navier-Stokes equations for which p is an element of L-5/3(Omega x (0, T)) (such solutions are known to exist), then for any compact subset K of Omega x (0, T) the upper box-counting dimension of S boolean AND K is no larger than 5/3 and (ii) for a volume-preserving flow in R-n arising from a vector field in L-1(0, T; L-infinity), trajectories through almost every initial condition avoid any set whose box-counting dimension is strictly less than n - 1. The result (i) is new, although it requires only a small variation of an argument contained in Caffarelli et al (1982 Commun. Pure Appl. Math. 35 771-831) and we give a simple geometric proof of (ii), a result originally proved by Aizenmann using other methods (1978 Duke Math. J. 45 809-12).
