Abstract

This paper is devoted to the study of flows associated to non-smooth vector fields. We prove the well-posedness of regular Lagrangian flows associated to vector fields B=(B1,...,Bd)L1(R+;L1(Rd)+L(Rd))\mathbf{B}=(\mathbf{B}^1,...,\mathbf{B}^d)\in L^1(\mathbb{R}_+;L^1(\mathbb{R}^d)+L^\infty(\mathbb{R}^d)) satisfying Bi=j=1mKjibj, \mathbf{B}^i=\sum_{j=1}^{m}\mathbf{K}_j^i*b_j, bjL1(R+,BV(Rd))b_j\in L^1(\mathbb{R}_+,BV(\mathbb{R}^d)) and div(B)L1(R+;L(Rd))\operatorname{div}(\mathbf{B})\in L^1(\mathbb{R}_+;L^\infty(\mathbb{R}^d)) for d,m2d,m\geq 2, where (Kji)i,j(\mathbf{K}_j^i)_{i,j} are singular kernels in Rd\mathbb{R}^d. Moreover, we also show that there exist an autonomous vector-field BL1(R2)+L(R2)\mathbf{B}\in L^1(\mathbb{R}^2)+L^\infty(\mathbb{R}^2) and singular kernels (Kji)i,j(\mathbf{K}_j^i)_{i,j}, singular Radon measures μijk\mu_{ijk} in R2\mathbb{R}^2 satisfying xkBi=j=1mKjiμijk\partial_{x_k} \mathbf{B}^i=\sum_{j=1}^{m}\mathbf{K}_j^i\star\mu_{ijk} in distributional sense for some m2m\geq 2 and for k,i=1,2k,i=1,2 such that regular Lagrangian flows associated to vector field B\mathbf{B} are not unique.
