On some typicality and density results for nonsmooth vector fields and the associated ODE and continuity equation

These notes address two problems. First, we investigate the question of ``how many'' are (in Baire sense) vector fields in $L^1_t L^q_x$, $q \in [1, \infty)$, for which existence and/or uniqueness of local, distributional solutions to the associated continuity equation holds. We show that, in certain regimes, existence of solutions (even locally in time, for at least one nonzero initial datum) is a meager property, whereas, on the contrary, uniqueness of solutions is a generic property. Secondly, despite the fact that non-uniqueness is a meager property, we prove that (Sobolev) counterexamples to uniqueness, both for the continuity equation and for the ODE, in the spirit of [Bru\`e, Colombo, Kumar 2024] and [Kumar 2024] respectively, form a dense subset of the natural ambient space they live in.
