    Smoothing estimates for the kinetic transport equation at the critical regularity

    Full text link
    We prove smoothing estimates for velocity averages of the kinetic transport equation in hyperbolic Sobolev spaces at the critical regularity, leading to a complete characterisation of the allowable regularity exponents. Such estimates will be deduced from some mixed-norm estimates for the cone multiplier operator at a certain critical index. Our argument is not particular to the geometry of the cone and we illustrate this by establishing analogous estimates for the paraboloid

    H\"{o}lder continuity of solutions to the kinematic dynamo equations

    Full text link
    We study the propagation of regularity of solutions to a three dimensional system of linear parabolic PDE known as the kinematic dynamo equations. The divergence free drift velocity is assumed to be at the critical regularity level with respect to the natural scaling of the equations.Comment: 10 page

    On the Endpoint Regularity in Onsager's Conjecture

    Full text link
    Onsager's conjecture states that the conservation of energy may fail for 3D3D incompressible Euler flows with H\"{o}lder regularity below 1/31/3. This conjecture was recently solved by the author, yet the endpoint case remains an interesting open question with further connections to turbulence theory. In this work, we construct energy non-conserving solutions to the 3D3D incompressible Euler equations with space-time H\"{o}lder regularity converging to the critical exponent at small spatial scales and containing the entire range of exponents [0,1/3)[0,1/3). Our construction improves the author's previous result towards the endpoint case. To obtain this improvement, we introduce a new method for optimizing the regularity that can be achieved by a general convex integration scheme. A crucial point is to avoid power-losses in frequency in the estimates of the iteration. This goal is achieved using localization techniques of \cite{IOnonpd} to modify the convex integration scheme. We also prove results on general solutions at the critical regularity that may not conserve energy. These include the fact that singularites of positive space-time Lebesgue measure are necessary for any energy non-conserving solution to exist while having critical regularity of an integrability exponent greater than three
