Two main results will be presented in our paper. First, we will prove the regularity of solutions to axially symmetric Navier-Stokes equations under a $log$ supercritical assumption on the horizontally radial component $u^r$ and vertical component $u^z$, accompanied by a $log$ subcritical assumption on the horizontally angular component $u^θ$ of the velocity. Second, the precise Green function for the operator $-(Δ-\frac{1}{r^2})$ under the axially symmetric situation, where $r$ is the distance to the symmetric axis, and some weighted $L^p$ estimates of it will be given. This will serve as a tool for the study of axially symmetric Navier-Stokes equations. As an application, we will prove the regularity of solutions to axially symmetric Navier-Stokes equations under a critical (or a subcritical) assumption on the angular component $w^θ$ of the vorticity.

Keywords: Axislly symmetric, Navier-Stokes equations, regularity criterion, supercritical assumption, critical assumption, subcritical assumption.
