Lions' Maximal Regularity Problem for Divergence-Form Differential Operators: Failure at the -Hölder Endpoint

Lukas Niebel

In this work we give a counterexample to maximal -regularity in Lions' problem for divergence-form differential operators. On a bounded interval, we construct a bound…

A Liouville theorem for the two-dimensional stationary hypodissipative Navier--Stokes system

Nicola De Nitti, Lukas Niebel, Jiaqi Yang

We study the two-dimensional stationary incompressible Navier--Stokes equations on with fractional dissipation . In the full range , we prove tha…

On Leonardo da Vinci's paradox

Björn Gebhard, Lukas Niebel, Christian Seis

Buoyancy points straight upward, yet in the absence of external forces, a rising air bubble may trace a spiral through the water. This phenomenon was already observed by Leonardo d…

A fast dynamo with zero topological entropy

Lukas Niebel

We construct an autonomous Lipschitz fast dynamo on the flat three-torus whose particle flow has zero topological entropy and whose ideal induction equation has no exponential grow…

Sharp kinetic trace theory

Lukas Niebel, Lisa Valentini

We establish sharp kinetic trace estimates and counterexamples across several velocity models. For half-space position domains, without any common bound on velocity support, we pro…

Transfer of regularity by kinetic mollification along critical trajectories

Lukas Niebel

We give a trajectory-based proof of transfer-of-regularity estimates à la Bouchut-Hörmander for kinetic equations at the weak scale of local diffusion. The proof is based on kineti…

On the kinetic -Laplace equation with nonlocal diffusion

Lukas Niebel

We study two nonlocal versions of the kinetic -Laplace equation: a Gagliardo-type model defined through differences and a Bessel-type model defined via Fourier multiplication. U…

Nonlinear Kinetic Diffusion Equations with -Growth

Helge Dietert, Lukas Niebel, Rico Zacher

We establish the local boundedness of (sub-)solutions to nonlinear kinetic diffusion equations with -growth, where the kinetic p-Laplace equation is a prototypical example. A ke…

Spherical rigidity for an exterior overdetermined problem with Neumann data prescribed by mean curvature

Lukas Niebel

We study an overdetermined elliptic free boundary problem for exterior domains in , , introduced by F. Morabito [Comm. PDE 46 (2021), 1137-1161]. The overdet…

Kinetic Sobolev Spaces

Pascal Auscher, Lukas Niebel

We define and study homogeneous kinetic Sobolev spaces adapted to the Kolmogorov equation. We consider both local and non-local diffusion. The spaces are built from the Lebesgue sp…

Nash's bound for the Kolmogorov equation

Helge Dietert, Lukas Niebel

We prove Nash's bound for the Kolmogorov equation with rough coefficients. Our proof is inspired by the treatment of the parabolic problem by Nash (1958) and Fabes and Stroock…

Global rigidity of two-dimensional bubbles

Lukas Niebel

We study bubbles, which are stationary hollow vortices with surface tension, in two dimensions. Such objects solve an overdetermined elliptic free boundary problem in an exterior d…

Critical trajectories in kinetic geometry

Helge Dietert, Clément Mouhot, Lukas Niebel +1

We construct critical trajectories in kinetic geometry, i.e. curves in that are: tangential to the vector fields and , co…

Steady bubbles and drops in inviscid fluids

David Meyer, Lukas Niebel, Christian Seis

We construct steady non-spherical bubbles and drops, which are traveling wave solutions to the axisymmetric two-phase Euler equations with surface tension, whose inner phase is a b…

A trajectorial interpretation of Moser's proof of the Harnack inequality

Lukas Niebel, Rico Zacher

In 1971 Moser published a simplified version of his proof of the parabolic Harnack inequality. The core new ingredient is a fundamental lemma due to Bombieri and Giusti, which comb…

On a kinetic Poincaré inequality and beyond

Lukas Niebel, Rico Zacher

In this article, we give a trajectorial proof of a kinetic Poincaré inequality which plays an important role in the De Giorgi-Nash-Moser theory for kinetic equations. The present w…
