Failure of the Weak Sard property without Anomalous Dissipation

Analysis of PDEs 2026-07-29 v1

Abstract

For every α(0,1)\alpha\in(0,1) we construct an autonomous, divergence-free vector field uCcα(R2,R2)u\in C^\alpha_c(\R^2,\R^2) that does not have the weak Sard property and, nonetheless, does not induce anomalous dissipation of L2(R2)L^2(\R^2) norm for solutions to the associated advection-diffusion equation. This disproves a conjecture proposed by Bagnara, Boutros, De Lellis and Mayboroda in \cite{BaBoDeMa26}.
