Infinite energy solutions to the Navier-Stokes equations in the half-space and applications

This short note serves as an introduction to the papers arXiv:1711.01651 and arXiv:1711.04486 by Maekawa, Miura and Prange. These two works deal with the existence of mild solutions on the one hand and local energy weak solutions on the other hand to the Navier-Stokes equations in the half-space $\R^3_+$. We emphasize a concentration result for (sub)critical norms near a potential singularity. The contents of these notes were presented during the X-EDP seminar at IH\'ES in October 2017.
