Abstract

Under suitable assumptions of regularity and non-degeneracy on the covariance of the driving additive noise, any Markov solution to the stochastic Navier-Stokes equations has an associated generator of the diffusion and is the unique solution to the corresponding martingale problem. Some elementary examples are discussed to interpret these results.
