Abstract

We turn the Navier-Stokes equations for a 2-dimensional viscous incompressible fluid into a system of functional integrals in the trajectory space of a suitable diffusion process. Using probabilistic techniques as Girsanov’s transformation and Bismut-Elworthy formula, we prove the existence of a unique global solution of this system in a constructive way.
