On the commutativity of flows of rough vector fields

Analysis of PDEs 2020-11-17 v1

Abstract

In the class of Sobolev vector fields in Rn\mathbb{R}^n of bounded divergence, for which the theory of DiPerna and Lions provides a well defined notion of flow, we characterize the vector fields whose flow commute in terms of the Lie bracket and of a regularity condition on the flows themselves. This extends a classical result of Frobenius in the smooth setting.
