On the Liouville type theorems for self-similar solutions to the Navier-Stokes equations

We prove Liouville type theorems for the self-similar solutions to the Navier-Stokes equations. One of our results generalizes the previous ones by Ne\v{c}as-R.{u}\v{z}i\v{c}ka-\v{S}verak and Tsai. Using the Liouville type theorem we also remove a scenario of asymtotically self-similar blow-up for the Navier-Stokes equations with the profile belonging to $L^{p, \infty} (\Bbb R^3)$with$p> \frac{3}{2}$.
