Abstract
A class of local (in the space-time) conditions on the vorticity directions implying local regularity of weak solutions to the 3D Navier-Stokes equations is established. In all the preceding results, the relevant geometric conditions, although being local in nature, have been assumed uniformly throughout the spatial regions of high vorticity magnitude, and uniformly in time. In addition, similar results are obtained assuming a less restrictive integral condition on the vorticity directions.
