## A remark on the Stokes problem in Lorentz spaces

 1 Dipartimento di Matematica, Università degli Studi di Napoli, via Vivaldi, 43, I-81100 Caserta, Italy

Received  December 2011 Revised  February 2012 Published  March 2013

We study the Stokes initial boundary value problem with an initial data in a Lorentz space. We develop a suitable technique able to solve the problem and to prove the semigroup properties of the resolving operator in the case of the ''limit exponents''. The results are a completion of the ones related to the usual $L^p$-theory, of the ones already known and they are also useful tool to study some questions related to the Navier-Stokes equations.
