We prove via convex integration a result that allows to pass from a so-called subsolution of the isentropic Euler equations (in space dimension at least $2$) to exact weak solutions. The method is closely related to the incompressible…

Given a divergence-free vector field ${\bf u} \in L^\infty_t W^{1,p}_x(\mathbb R^d)$ and a nonnegative initial datum $\rho_0 \in L^r$, the celebrated DiPerna--Lions theory established the uniqueness of the weak solution in the class of…

Convex Integration is a theory developed in the '70s by M. Gromov. This theory allows to solve families of differential problems satisfying some convex assumptions. From a subsolution, the theory iteratively builds a solution by applying a…

We provide a vast class of counterexamples to the chain rule for the divergence of bounded vector fields in three space dimensions. Our convex integration approach allows us to produce renormalization defects of various kinds, which in a…
