A sparse resolution of the DiPerna-Majda gap problem for $2$D Euler equations

A central question which originates in the celebrated work in the 1980's of DiPerna and Majda asks what is the optimal decay $f > 0$ such that uniform rates $|ω|(Q) \leq f(|Q|)$ of the vorticity maximal functions guarantee strong convergence without concentrations of approximate solutions to energy-conserving weak solutions of the $2$D Euler equations with vortex sheet initial data. A famous result of Majda (1993) shows $f(r) = [\log (1/r)]^{-1/2}$, $r<1/2$, as the optimal decay for \emph{distinguished} sign vortex sheets. In the general setting of \emph{mixed} sign vortex sheets, DiPerna and Majda (1987) established $f(r) = [\log (1/r)]^{-α}$ with $α> 1$ as a sufficient condition for the lack of concentrations, while the expected gap $α\in (1/2, 1]$ remains as an open question. In this paper we resolve the DiPerna-Majda $2$D gap problem: In striking contrast to the well-known case of distinguished sign vortex sheets, we identify $f(r) = [\log (1/r)]^{-1}$ as the optimal regularity for mixed sign vortex sheets that rules out concentrations. For the proof, we propose a novel method to construct explicitly solutions with mixed sign to the $2$D Euler equations in such a way that wild behaviour creates within the relevant geometry of \emph{sparse} cubes (i.e., these cubes are not necessarily pairwise disjoint, but their possible overlappings can be controlled in a sharp fashion). Such a strategy is inspired by the recent work of the first author and Milman \cite{DM} where strong connections between energy conservation and sparseness are established.

Truncated smooth function spaces

We introduce truncated Besov and Triebel--Lizorkin function spaces and investigate their main properties: embeddings, interpolation, duality, lifting, traces. These new scales allow us to improve several known results in functional analysis and PDE's.

Bourgain-Brezis-Mironescu-Maz'ya-Shaposhnikova limit formulae for fractional Sobolev spaces via interpolation and extrapolation

The real interpolation spaces between $L^{p}({\mathbb{R}}^{n})$ and $\dot {H}^{t,p}({\mathbb{R}}^{n})$ (resp. $H^{t,p}({\mathbb{R}}^{n})$), $t>0,$ are characterized in terms of fractional moduli of smoothness, and the underlying seminorms are shown to be " the correct" fractional generalization of the classical Gagliardo seminorms. This is confirmed by the fact that, using the new spaces combined with interpolation and extrapolation methods, we are able to extend the Bourgain-Brezis-Mironescu-Maz'ya-Shaposhnikova limit formulae, as well as the Bourgain-Brezis-Mironescu convergence theorem, to fractional Sobolev spaces. On the other hand, we disprove a conjecture of \cite{Braz} suggesting fractional convergence results given in terms of classical Gagliardo seminorms. We also solve a problem proposed in \cite{Braz} concerning sharp forms of the fractional Sobolev embedding.

New estimates for the maximal functions and applications

In this paper we study sharp pointwise inequalities for maximal operators. In particular, we strengthen DeVore's inequality for the moduli of smoothness and a logarithmic variant of Bennett--DeVore--Sharpley's inequality for rearrangements. As a consequence, we improve the classical Stein--Zygmund embedding deriving $\dot{B}^{d/p}_\infty L_{p,\infty}(\mathbb{R}^d) \hookrightarrow \text{BMO}(\mathbb{R}^d)$ for $1 < p < \infty$. Moreover, these results are also applied to establish new Fefferman--Stein inequalities, Calderón--Scott type inequalities, and extrapolation estimates. Our approach is based on the limiting interpolation techniques.

Sobolev embeddings, extrapolations, and related inequalities

In this paper we propose a unified approach, based on limiting interpolation, to investigate the embeddings for the Sobolev space $(\dot{W}^k_p(\mathcal{X}))_0, \, \mathcal{X} \in \{\mathbb{R}^d, \mathbb{T}^d, Ω\}$, in the subcritical case ($k < d/p$), critical case ($k = d/p$) and supercritical case ($k > d/p$). We characterize the Sobolev embeddings in terms of pointwise inequalities involving rearrangements and moduli of smoothness/derivatives of functions and via extrapolation theorems for corresponding smooth function spaces. Applications include Ulyanov-Kolyada type inequalities for rearrangements, inequalities for moduli of smoothness, sharp Jawerth-Franke embeddings for Lorentz-Sobolev spaces, various characterizations of Gagliardo-Nirenberg, Trudinger, Maz'ya-Hansson-Brezis-Wainger and Brezis-Wainger embeddings, among others. In particular, we show that the Tao's extrapolation theorem holds true in the setting of Sobolev inequalities. This gives a positive answer to a question recently posed by Astashkin and Milman.

Embeddings and characterizations of Lipschitz spaces

In this paper we give a thorough study of Lipschitz spaces. We obtain the following new results: (1) Sharp Jawerth-Franke-type embeddings between the Besov and Lipschitz spaces extending the classical results for Besov and Sobolev spaces; (2) Sharp embeddings between Lipschitz spaces with different parameters extending the Brézis-Wainger result; (3) Characterizations for Lipschitz spaces norms via Fourier transforms and wavelets; (4) Sharp embeddings from Lipschitz spaces into Lebesgue/Lorentz-Zygmund spaces.

Function spaces of logarithmic smoothness: embeddings and characterizations

In this paper we present a comprehensive treatment of function spaces with logarithmic smoothness (Besov, Sobolev, Triebel-Lizorkin). We establish the following results: Sharp embeddings between the Besov spaces defined by differences and by Fourier-analytical decompositions as well as between Besov and Sobolev/Triebel-Lizorkin spaces; Various new characterizations for Besov norms in terms of different K-functionals. For instance, we derive characterizations via ball averages, approximation methods, heat kernels, and Bianchini-type norms; Sharp estimates for Besov norms of derivatives and potential operators (Riesz and Bessel potentials) in terms of norms of functions themselves. We also obtain quantitative estimates of regularity properties of the fractional Laplacian. The key tools behind our results are limiting interpolation techniques and new characterizations of Besov and Sobolev norms in terms of the behavior of the Fourier transforms for functions such that their Fourier transforms are of monotone type or lacunary series.
