Effective Lagrangian regularity and the uniqueness threshold for random H\"older velocity fields

Abstract

We study the behavior of the ordinary differential equations, flow maps, and continuity equations associated to autonomous random velocity fields that admit a natural multiscale finite range decomposition. The velocity fields we consider are only H\"older regular in space---$C^{\alpha-}(\mathbb{T}^d)$ for some $\alpha \in (0,1)$---thus the associated ODE and continuity equation are not a priori well-posed. However, above the critical threshold of $\alpha = 1/2$, due to multiscale stochastic cancellations, we prove well-posedness is almost surely restored away from the zero level set of the velocity field. This threshold marks a genuine transition, as demonstrated by examples lying below the threshold that exhibit robust ill-posedness. We additionally provide effective regularity estimates below the critical threshold and prove analogous results in the related"refreshing"regime.

Gradient regularity and potential estimates for fractional drift--diffusion equations in the critical and subcritical ranges

We establish scale-invariant interior $C^{1,\alpha}$ estimates for bounded viscosity solutions of $(-\Delta)^su+b\cdot\nabla u=f$ for $s\in[1/2,1)$ with locally H\"older $b$ and $f$. The critical case uses Silvestre's parabolic theorem; the subcritical case uses Schauder estimates and interpolation. Applying this visco...

Ideal MHD below the classical well-posedness threshold

We establish local existence and uniqueness of solutions for the ideal incompressible magnetohydrodynamics system posed on $[0,T]\times\mathbb{R}^n$, $n\ge2$, with a nonzero constant initial magnetic field $\mathbf{B}_0$ and arbitrary divergence-free velocity data $v_0\in H^s$, in the range $(n+1)/2<s\le n/2+1$. The pr...

Strong Galerkin Approximation, Malliavin Regularity, and Blow-Up for a Mixed Local--Nonlocal Stochastic Wave Equation

We investigate the dynamical behavior of a class of semilinear stochastic wave equations on a bounded smooth domain $\Ocal\subset\R^d$ driven by additive trace-class noise, where the elastic response is governed by a \emph{mixed local--nonlocal} operator $\Acal=-\theta\Delta+\beta(-\Delta)^s$ with $s\in(0,1)$. A fundam...

Singular Forces on the Whole Space: Sobolev Density Thresholds and Energy Approximation

We derive whole-space distribution results from the established compact, smoothly forced Navier--Stokes blowup construction of OpenAI. For every fixed positive viscosity and deadline, smooth forces causing classical breakdown from rest on $\mathbb R^3$ are dense in the relative $L^1_tH^s_x$ topology exactly when $s<1/2...

Local Well-Posedness of the Boundary Layer Equations for Dilatant Power-Law Fluids

We establish the local-in-time existence and uniqueness of monotone solutions to the two-dimensional nonstationary boundary-layer equations for a dilatant power-law fluid in a periodic half-space for $1<n<\frac{7}{3}$. Under Oleinik's monotonicity condition and suitable weighted Sobolev assumptions on the initial data...

Optimal regularity and fine asymptotics for very fast diffusion equations in bounded domains

We prove the optimal global regularity of admissible solutions to a transformed very fast diffusion equation in the range $-1<p<0$, posed on smooth bounded domains with zero Dirichlet boundary data and initial data comparable to the distance function. More precisely, we establish existence and uniqueness and show that...
