On well-posedness of parabolic equations of Navier-Stokes type with BMO^{-1}(R^n) data

We develop a strategy making extensive use of tent spaces to study parabolic equa-tions with quadratic nonlinearities as for the Navier-Stokes system. We begin with a new proof of the well-known result of Koch and Tataru on the well-posedness of Navier-Stokes equations in R^n with small initial data in BMO^{-1}(R^n). We then study another model where neither pointwise kernel bounds nor self-adjointness are available.

A new proof for Koch and Tatarus result on the well-posedness of Navier-Stokes equations in $BMO^{-1}$

We give a new proof of a well-known result of Koch and Tataru on the well-posedness of Navier-Stokes equations in $R^n$ with small initial data in $BMO^{-1}(R^n)$. The proof is formulated operator theoretically and does not make use of self-adjointness of the Laplacian.
