- In the first part of this work, we investigate the Cauchy problem for the $d$-dimensional incompressible Oldroyd-B model with dissipation in the stress tensor equation. By developing a weighted Chemin-Lerner framework combined with a refined energy argument, we prove the existence and uniqueness of global solutions for the system under a mild constraint on the initial velocity field, while allowing a broad class of large initial data for the stress tensor. Notably, our analysis accommodates general divergence-free initial stress tensors ( $\mathrm{div}τ_0=0$) and significantly relaxes the requirements on initial velocities compared to classical fluid models. This stands in sharp contrast to the finite-time singularity formation observed in the incompressible Euler equations, even for small initial data, thereby highlighting the intrinsic stabilizing role of the stress tensor in polymeric fluid dynamics. The second part of this paper focuses on the small-data regime. Through a systematic exploitation of the perturbative structure of the system, we establish global well-posedness and quantify the long-time behavior of solutions in Sobolev spaces $H^3(\mathbb{T}^d)$. Specifically, we derive exponential decay rates for perturbations, demonstrating how the dissipative mechanisms inherent to the Oldroyd-B model govern the asymptotic stability of the system.
