Let $D$ be the exterior of a cone inside a ball, with its altitude angle at most $\pi/6$ in $\mathbb{R}^3$, which touches the $x_3$ axis at the origin. For any initial value $v_0 = v_{0,r}e_{r} + v_{0,\theta} e_{\theta} + v_{0,3} e_{3}$ in a $C^2(\overline{D})$ class, which has the usual even-odd-odd symmetry in the $x_3$ variable and has the partial smallness only in the swirl direction: $ | r v_{0, \theta} | \leq \frac{1}{100}$, the axially symmetric Navier-Stokes equations (ASNS) with Navier-Hodge-Lions slip boundary condition has a finite-energy solution that stays bounded for all time. In particular, no finite-time blowup of the fluid velocity occurs. Compared with standard smallness assumptions on the initial velocity, no size restriction is made on the components $v_{0,r}$ and $v_{0,3}$. In a broad sense, this result appears to solve $2/3$ of the regularity problem of ASNS in such domains in the class of solutions with the above symmetry. Equivalently, this result is connected to the general open question which asks that if an absolute smallness of one component of the initial velocity implies the global smoothness, see e.g. page 873 in \cite{CZZ17}. Our result seems to give a positive answer in a special setting. As a byproduct, we also construct an unbounded solution of the forced Navier Stokes equation in a special cusp domain that has finite energy. The forcing term, with the scaling factor of $-1$, is in the standard regularity class. This result confirms the intuition that if the channel of a fluid is very thin, arbitrarily high speed in the classical sense can be attained under a mildly singular force which is physically reasonable in view that Newtonian gravity and Coulomb force have scaling factor $-2$., Comment: 85 pages.

The existence of smooth but nowhere analytic functions is well-known (du Bois-Reymond, Math. Ann., 21(1):109-117, 1883). However, smooth solutions to the heat equation are usually analytic in the space variable. It is also well-known (Kowalevsky, Crelle, 80:1-32, 1875) that a solution to the heat equation may not be time-analytic at $t=0$ even if the initial function is real analytic. Recently, it was shown in \cite{Zha20, DZ20, DP20} that solutions to the heat equation in the whole space, or half space with zero boundary value, are analytic in time under essentially optimal conditions. In this paper, we show that time analyticity is not always true in domains with general boundary conditions or without suitable growth conditions. More precisely, we construct two bounded solutions to the heat equation in the half plane which are nowhere analytic in time. In addition, for any $\delta>0$, we find a solution to the heat equation on the whole plane, with exponential growth of order $2+\delta$, which is nowhere analytic in time., Comment: Expanded one proof; Fixed some typos in the reference and in the text; Added the acknowledgement part; 12 pages

In this paper, we investigate pointwise time analyticity of solutions to fractional heat equations in the settings of $\mathbb{R}^d$ and a complete Riemannian manifold $\mathrm{M}$. On one hand, in $\mathbb{R}^d$, we prove that any solution $u=u(t,x)$ to $u_t(t,x)-\mathrm{L}_\alpha^{\kappa} u(t,x)=0$, where $\mathrm{L}_\alpha^{\kappa}$ is a nonlocal operator of order $\alpha$, is time analytic in $(0,1]$ if $u$ satisfies the growth condition $|u(t,x)|\leq C(1+|x|)^{\alpha-\epsilon}$ for any $(t,x)\in (0,1]\times \mathbb{R}^d$ and $\epsilon\in(0,\alpha)$. We also obtain pointwise estimates for $\partial_t^kp_\alpha(t,x;y)$, where $p_\alpha(t,x;y)$ is the fractional heat kernel. Furthermore, under the same growth condition, we show that the mild solution is the unique solution. On the other hand, in a manifold $\mathrm{M}$, we also prove the time analyticity of the mild solution under the same growth condition and the time analyticity of the fractional heat kernel, when $\mathrm{M}$ satisfies the Poincar\'e inequality and the volume doubling condition. Moreover, we also study the time and space derivatives of the fractional heat kernel in $\mathbb{R}^d$ using the method of Fourier transform and contour integrals. We find that when $\alpha\in (0,1]$, the fractional heat kernel is time analytic at $t=0$ when $x\neq 0$, which differs from the standard heat kernel. As corollaries, we obtain sharp solvability condition for the backward fractional heat equation and time analyticity of some nonlinear fractional heat equations with power nonlinearity of order $p$. These results are related to those in [8] and [11] which deal with local equations., Comment: We change the title here since 'nonlocal parabolic equations' is more suitable than 'fractional heat equation'

In this paper, we investigate the pointwise time analyticity of three differential equations. They are the biharmonic heat equation, the heat equation with potentials and some nonlinear heat equations with power nonlinearity of order $p$. The potentials include all the nonnegative ones. For the first two equations, we prove if $u$ satisfies some growth conditions in $(x,t)\in \mathrm{M}\times [0,1]$, then $u$ is analytic in time $(0,1]$. Here $\mathrm{M}$ is $R^d$ or a complete noncompact manifold with Ricci curvature bounded from below by a constant. Then we obtain a necessary and sufficient condition such that $u(x,t)$ is analytic in time at $t=0$. Applying this method, we also obtain a necessary and sufficient condition for the solvability of the backward equations, which is ill-posed in general. For the nonlinear heat equation with power nonlinearity of order $p$, we prove that a solution is analytic in time $t\in (0,1]$ if it is bounded in $\mathrm{M}\times[0,1]$ and $p$ is a positive integer. In addition, we investigate the case when $p$ is a rational number with a stronger assumption $0
