Abstract
We proveL 2-decay rates of suitable weak solutions to the Navier-Stokes equations in exterior domains. The results for the order of decay are the same as for the solutions to the Cauchy problem of the Navier-Stokes equations. Finally in the case ofω=R 3 the decay rate order is sharp in the class of solutions considered by us.
