The Cauchy Problem

In this paper, we establish an [Formula: see text]-regularity criterion for any weak solution [Formula: see text] to the nematic liquid crystal flow (1.1) such that [Formula: see text] for some [Formula: see text] and [Formula: see text] satisfying the condition (1.2). As consequences, we prove the interior smoothness of any such a solution when [Formula: see text] and [Formula: see text]. We also show that uniqueness holds for the class of weak solutions [Formula: see text] the Cauchy problem of the nematic liquid crystal flow (1.1) that satisfy [Formula: see text] for some [Formula: see text] and [Formula: see text] satisfying (1.2).
