We prove a regularity result for Lagrangian flows of Sobolev vector fields over RCD(K, N ) metric measure spaces, regularity is understood with respect to a newly defined quasi-metric built from the Green function of the Laplacian. Its main application is that RCD(K, N ) spaces have constant dimension. In this way we generalize to such abstract framework a result proved by Colding-Naber for Ricci limit spaces, introducing ingredients that are new even in the smooth setting. * Scuola Normale Superiore, elia.brue@sns.it. † Scuola Normale Superiore, daniele.semola@sns.it.
This note is dedicated to the study of the asymptotic behaviour of sets of finite perimeter over RCD(K, N ) metric measure spaces. Our main result asserts existence of a Euclidean tangent half-space almost everywhere with respect to the perimeter measure and it can be improved to an existence and uniqueness statement when the ambient is non collapsed. As an intermediate tool, we provide a complete characterization of the class of RCD(0, N ) spaces for which there exists a nontrivial function satisfying the equality in the 1-Bakry-Émery inequality. This result is of independent interest and it is new, up to our knowledge, even in the smooth framework.
This paper concerns the forced stochastic Navier-Stokes equation driven by additive noise in the three dimensional Euclidean space. By constructing an appropriate forcing term, we prove that there exist distinct Leray solutions in the probabilistically weak sense. In particular, the joint uniqueness in law fails in the Leray class. The non-uniqueness also displays in the probabilistically strong sense in the local time regime, up to stopping times. Furthermore, we discuss the optimality from two different perspectives: sharpness of the hyper-viscous exponent and size of the external force. These results in particular yield that the Lions exponent is the sharp viscosity threshold for the uniqueness/non-uniqueness in law of Leray solutions. Our proof utilizes the self-similarity and instability programme developed by 43] and Albritton-Brué-Colombo [1], together with the theory of martingale solutions including stability for non-metric spaces and gluing procedure.
The seminal work of DiPerna and Lions (Invent Math 98(3):511–547, 1989) guarantees the existence and uniqueness of regular Lagrangian flows for Sobolev vector fields. The latter is a suitable selection of trajectories of the related ODE satisfying additional compressibility/semigroup properties. A long-standing open question is whether the uniqueness of the regular Lagrangian flow is a corollary of the uniqueness of the trajectory of the ODE for a.e. initial datum. Using Ambrosio’s superposition principle, we relate the latter to the uniqueness of positive solutions of the continuity equation and we then provide a negative answer using tools introduced by Modena and Székelyhidi in the recent groundbreaking work (Modena and Székelyhidi in Ann PDE 4(2):38, 2018). On the opposite side, we introduce a new class of asymmetric Lusin–Lipschitz inequalities and use them to prove the uniqueness of positive solutions of the continuity equation in an integrability range which goes beyond the DiPerna–Lions theory.
This paper is devoted to the study of sets of finite perimeter in
\operatorname{RCD}(K,N)
metric measure spaces. Its aim is to complete the picture of the generalization of De Giorgi’s theorem within this framework. Starting from the results of Ambrosio et al. (2019) we obtain uniqueness of tangents and rectifiability for the reduced boundary of sets of finite perimeter. As an intermediate tool, of independent interest, we develop a Gauss–Green integration-by-parts formula tailored to this setting. These results are new and non-trivial even in the setting of Ricci limits.
