We study in this article a new pointwise estimate for ''rough'' singular integral operators. From this pointwise estimate we will derive Sobolev type inequalities in a variety of functional spaces.

The micropolar fluid system is a model based on the Navier-Stokes equations which considers two coupled variables: the velocity field $\vec u$ and the microrotation field $\vec\omega$. Assuming an additional condition over the variable $\vec u$ we will first prove that weak solutions $(\vec u, \vec\omega)$ of this system are smooth. Then, we will present a concentration effect of the $L^3_x$ norm of the velocity field $\vec u$ near a possible singular time.

In this article we study some Liouville-type theorems for the stationary 3D Navier-Stokes equations. These results are related to the uniqueness of weak solutions for this system under some additional information over the velocity field, which is usually stated in the literature in terms of Lebesgue, Morrey or BMO^--1 spaces. Here we will consider Lebesgue spaces of variable exponent which will provide us with some interesting flexibility.

In this article we study some problems related to the incompressible 3D Navier-Stokes equations from the point of view of Lebesgue spaces of variable exponent. These functional spaces present some particularities that make them quite different from the usual Lebesgue spaces: indeed, some of the most classical tools in analysis are not available in this framework. We will give here some ideas to overcome some of the difficulties that arise in this context in order to obtain different results related to the existence of mild solutions for this evolution problem.

We consider here the stationary Micropolar fluid equations which are a particular generalization of the usual Navier-Stokes system where the microrotations of the fluid particles must be taken into account. We thus obtain two coupled equations: one based mainly in the velocity field u and the other one based in the microrotation field $\omega$. We will study in this work some problems related to the existence of weak solutions as well as some regularity and uniqueness properties. Our main result establish, under some suitable decay at infinity conditions for the velocity field only, the uniqueness of the trivial solution.

In this article we consider a damped version of the incompressible Navier-Stokes equations in the whole three-dimensional space with a divergence-free and time-independent external force. Within the framework of a well-prepared force and with a particular choice of the damping parameter, when the Grashof numbers are large enough, we are able to prove some estimates from below and from above between the fluid characteristic velocity and the energy dissipation rate according to the Kolmogorov dissipation law. Precisely, our main contribution concerns the estimate from below which is not often studied in the existing literature. Moreover, we address some remarks which open the door to a deep discussion on the validity of this theory of turbulence.

We address here the problem of regularity for weak solutions of the 3D Boussinesq equation. By introducing the new notion of partial suitable solutions, which imposes some conditions over the velocity field only, we show a local gain of regularity for the two variables u and $\theta$., Comment: arXiv admin note: substantial text overlap with arXiv:2302.02675

The incompressible Micropolar system is given by two coupled equations: the first equation gives the evolution of the velocity field u while the second equation gives the evolution of the microrotation field $\omega$. In this article we will consider regularity problems for weak solutions of this system. For this we will introduce the new notion of partial suitable solutions, which imposes a specific behavior for the velocity field u only, and under some classical hypotheses over the pressure, we will obtain a h{\"o}lderian gain for both variables u and $\omega$., Comment: arXiv admin note: text overlap with arXiv:2111.06653

We investigate existence, Liouville type theorems and regularity results for the 3D stationary and incompressible fractional Navier-Stokes equations: in this setting the usual Laplacian is replaced by its fractional power $(-\Delta)^{\frac{\alpha}{2}}$ with $0<\alpha<2$. By applying a fixed point argument, weak solutions can be obtained in the Sobolev space $\dot{H}^{\frac{\alpha}{2}}(\mathbb{R})$ and if we add an extra integrability condition, stated in terms of Lebesgue spaces, then we can prove for some values of $\alpha$ that the zero function is the unique smooth solution. The additional integrability condition is almost sharp for $3/5<\alpha<5/3$. Moreover, in the case $1<\alpha<2$ a gain of regularity is established under some conditions, however the study of regularity in the regime $0<\alpha\leq 1$ seems for the moment to be an open problem.

We consider parabolic PDEs associated with fractional type operators drifted by non-linear singular first order terms. When the drift enjoys some boundedness properties in appropriate Lebesgue and Besov spaces, we establish by exploiting a priori Besov-type estimates, the H{\"o}lder continuity of the solutions. In particular, we handle the almost critical case in whole generality.

In the analysis of PDEs, regularity of often measured in terms of Sobolev, H{\"o}lder, Besov or Lipschitz spaces, etc. However, sometimes a gain of regularity can also be expressed just in terms of Lebesgue spaces, by passing from a singular setting to a less singular one. In this article we will obtain a gain of integrability for weak solutions of the micropolar fluid equations using as general framework Morrey spaces, which is a very useful language to study regularity in PDEs. An interesting point is that the two variables of the micropolar fluid equations can be studied separately.

We study the existence of global weak solutions of a nonlinear transport-diffusion equation with a fractional derivative in the time variable and under some extra hypotheses, we also study some regularity properties for this type of solutions. In the system considered here, the diffusion operator is given by a fractional Laplacian and the nonlinear drift is assumed to be divergence free and it is assumed to satisfy some general stability and boundedness properties in Lebesgue spaces.

We develop here a particular version of the partial regularity theory for the Magneto-Micropolar equations (MMP) where a perturbation term is added. These equations are used in some special cases, such as in the study of the evolution of liquid cristals or polymers, where the classical Navier-Stokes equations are not an accurate enough model. The incompressible Magneto-Micropolar system is composed of three coupled equations: the first one is based in the Navier-Stokes system, the second one considers mainly the magnetic field while the last equation introduces the microrotation field representing the angular velocity of the rotation of the fluid particles. External forces are considered and a specific perturbation term is added as it is quite useful in some applications., Comment: arXiv admin note: text overlap with arXiv:2005.02697

In this short article we show a particular version of the Hedberg inequality which can be used to derive, in a very simple manner, functional inequalities involving Sobolev and Besov spaces in the general setting of Lebesgue spaces of variable exponents and in the framework of Orlicz spaces.

We study here a new generalization of Caffarelli, Kohn and Nirenberg's partial regularity theory for weak solutions of the MHD equations. Indeed, in this framework some hypotheses on the pressure P are usually asked (for example P $\in$ L q t L 1 x with q > 1) and then local H{\"o}lder regularity, in time and space variables, for weak solutions can be obtained over small neighborhoods. By introducing the notion of dissipative solutions, we weaken the hypothesis on the pressure (we will only assume that P $\in$ D) and we will obtain H{\"o}lder regularity in the space variable for weak solutions.

We consider a parabolic-type PDE with a diffusion given by a fractional Laplacian operator and with a quadratic nonlinearity of the 'gradient' of the solution, convoluted with a singular term b. Our first result is the well-posedness for this problem: We show existence and uniqueness of a (local in time) mild solution. The main result is about blow-up of said solution, and in particular we find sufficient conditions on the initial datum and on the term b to ensure blow-up of the solution in finite time.

We generalize here the celebrated Partial Regularity Theory of Caffarelli, Kohn and Nirenberg to the MHD equations in the framework of parabolic Morrey spaces. This type of parabolic generalization using Morrey spaces appears to be crucial when studying the role of the pressure in the regularity theory for the classical Navier-Stokes equations as well as for the MHD equations.

We consider here the Navier-Stokes equations in $\mathbb{R}^{3}$ with a stationary, divergence-free external force and with an additional damping term that depends on two parameters. We first study the well-posedness of weak solutions for these equations and then, for a particular set of the damping parameters, we will obtain an upper and lower control for the energy dissipation rate $\varepsilon$ according to the Kolmogorov K41 theory. However, although the behavior of weak solutions corresponds to the K41 theory, we will show that in some specific cases the damping term introduced in the Navier-Stokes equations could annihilate the turbulence even though the Grashof number (which are equivalent to the Reynolds number) are large., Comment: 23

This PhD thesis is devoted to deterministic study of the turbulence in the Navier- Stokes equations. The thesis is divided in four independent chapters.The first chapter involves a rigorous discussion about the energy's dissipation law, proposed by theory of the turbulence K41, in the deterministic setting of the homogeneous and incompressible Navier-Stokes equations, with a stationary external force (the force only depends of the spatial variable) and on the whole space R3. The energy's dissipation law, also called the Kolmogorov's dissipation law, characterizes the energy's dissipation rate (in the form of heat) of a turbulent fluid and this law was developed by A.N. Kolmogorov in 1941. However, its deduction (which uses mainly tools of statistics) is not fully understood until our days and then an active research area consists in studying this law in the rigorous framework of the Navier-Stokes equations which describe in a mathematical way the fluids motion and in particular the movement of turbulent fluids. In this setting, the purpose of this chapter is to highlight the fact that if we consider the Navier-Stokes equations on R3 then certain physical quantities, necessary for the study of the Kolmogorov's dissipation law, have no a rigorous definition and then to give a sense to these quantities we suggest to consider the Navier-Stokes equations with an additional damping term. In the framework of these damped equations, we obtain some estimates for the energy's dissipation rate according to the Kolmogorov's dissipation law.In the second chapter we are interested in study the stationary solutions of the damped Navier- Stokes introduced in the previous chapter. These stationary solutions are a particular type of solutions which do not depend of the temporal variable and their study is motivated by the fact that we always consider the Navier-Stokes equations with a stationary external force. In this chapter we study two properties of the stationary solutions : the first property concerns the stability of these solutions where we prove that if we have a control on the external force then all non stationary solution (with depends of both spatial and temporal variables) converges toward a stationary solution. The second property concerns the decay in spatial variable of the stationary solutions. These properties of stationary solutions are a consequence of the damping term introduced in the Navier-Stokes equations.In the third chapter we still study the stationary solutions of Navier-Stokes equations but now we consider the classical equations (without any additional damping term). The purpose of this chapter is to study an other problem related to the deterministic description of the turbulence : the frequency decay of the stationary solutions. Indeed, according to the K41 theory, if the fluid is in a laminar setting then the stationary solutions of the Navier-Stokes equations must exhibit a exponential frequency decay which starts at lows frequencies. But, if the fluid is in a turbulent setting then this exponential frequency decay must be observed only at highs frequencies. In this chapter, using some Fourier analysis tools, we give a precise description of this exponential frequency decay in the laminar and in the turbulent setting.In the fourth and last chapter we return to the stationary solutions of the classical Navier-Stokes equations and we study the uniqueness of these solutions in the particular case without any external force. Following some ideas of G. Seregin, we study the uniqueness of these solutions first in the framework of Lebesgue spaces of and then in the a general framework of Morrey spaces., Comment: in French

Uniqueness of Leray solutions of the 3D Navier-Stokes equations is a challenging open problem. In this article we will study this problem for the 3D stationary Navier-Stokes equations and under some additional hypotheses, stated in terms of Lebesgue and Morrey spaces, we will show that the trivial solution U = 0 is the unique solution. This type of results are known as Liouville theorems.

We consider stationary Navier-Stokes equations in R 3 with a regular external force and we prove exponential frequency decay of the solutions. Moreover, if the external force is small enough, we give a pointwise exponential frequency decay for such solutions according to the K41 theory. If a damping term is added to the equation, a pointwise decay is obtained without the smallness condition over the force.

We study the regularity of the weak limit of a sequence of dissipative solutions to the Navier--Stokes equations when no assumptions is made on the behavior of the pressures.

Within the global setting of singular drifts in Morrey-Campanato spaces presented in [6], we study now the H{\"o}lder regularity properties of the solutions of a transport-diffusion equation with nonlinear singular drifts that satisfy a Besov stability property. We will see how this Besov information is relevant and how it allows to improve previous results. Moreover, in some particular cases we show that as the nonlinear drift becomes more regular, in the sense of Morrey-Campanato spaces, the additional Besov stability property will be less useful.

We study the role of the pressure in the partial regularity theory for weak solutions of the Navier--Stokes equations. By introducing the notion of dissipative solutions, due to Duchon \& Robert, we will provide a generalization of the Caffarelli, Kohn and Nirenberg theory. Our approach gives a new enlightenment of the role of the pressure in this theory in connection to Serrin's local regularity criterion.

The study of Sobolev inequalities can be divided in two cases: p = 1 and 1 < p < +$\infty$. In the case p = 1 we study here a relaxed version of refined Sobolev inequalities. When p > 1, using as base space classical Lorentz spaces associated to a weight from the Arino-Muckenhoupt class Bp, we will study Gagliardo-Nirenberg inequalities. As a by-product we will also consider Morrey-Sobolev inequalities. These arguments can be generalized to many different frameworks, in particular the proofs are given in the setting of stratified Lie groups.

We investigate some smoothness properties for a transport-diffusion equation involving a class of non-degerate L{\'e}vy type operators with singular drift. Our main argument is based on a duality method using the molecular decomposition of Hardy spaces through which we derive some H{\"o}lder continuity for the associated parabolic PDE. This property will be fulfilled as far as the singular drift belongs to a suitable Morrey-Campanato space for which the regularizing properties of the L{\'e}vy operator suffice to obtain global H{\"o}lder continuity., Comment: arXiv admin note: text overlap with arXiv:1205.2834

The aim of this short article is to generalize, with a slighthly different point of view, some new results concerning the fractional powers of the Laplace operator to the setting of Nilpotent Lie Groups and to study its relationship with the solutions of a partial differential equation in the spirit of the articles of Caffarelli & Silvestre and Stinga & Torrea., Comment: 10p

In this article we study a transport-diffusion equation in the framework of the stratified Lie groups. For this equation we will study the existence of the solutions, a maximum principle, a positivity principle and H\"older regularity., Comment: 26 pages. arXiv admin note: substantial text overlap with arXiv:1205.2834, arXiv:1007.3919

In this article we give a straightforward proof of refined inequalities between Lorentz spaces and Besov spaces and we generalize previous results of H. Bahouri and A. Cohen. Our approach is based in the characterization of Lorentz spaces as real interpolation spaces. We will also study the sharpness and optimality of these inequalities.

We are interested in some properties related to the solutions of non-local diffusion equations with divergence free drift. Existence, maximum principle and a positivity principle are proved. In order to study Holder regularity, we apply a method that relies in the Holder-Hardy spaces duality and in the molecular characterisation of local Hardy spaces. In these equations, the diffusion is given by L\'evy-type operators with an associated L\'evy measure satisfying some upper and lower bounds., Comment: arXiv admin note: substantial text overlap with arXiv:1007.3919

Motivated by a recent result which identifies in the special setting of the 2-adic group the Besov space $\dot{B}^{1,\infty}_{1}(\mathbb{Z}_2)$ with $BV(\mathbb{Z}_2)$, the space of function of bounded variation, we study in this article some functional relationships between Besov spaces., Comment: 6 pages

On the framework of the 2-adic group Z_2, we study a Sobolev-like inequality where we estimate the L^2 norm by a geometric mean of the BV norm and the Besov space B(-1,\infty,\infty) norm. We first show, using the special topological properties of the p-adic groups, that the set of functions of bounded variations BV can be identified to the Besov space B(1,\infty,1). This identification lead us to the construction of a counterexample to the improved Sobolev inequality., Comment: 10 p

We study in this article some Sobolev-type inequalities on polynomial volume growth Lie groups. We show in particular that improved Sobolev inequalities can be extended without the use of the Littlewood-Paley decomposition to this general framework.

We study in this article the Improved Sobolev inequalities with Muckenhoupt weights within the framework of stratified Lie groups. This family of inequalities estimate the Lq norm of a function by the geometric mean of two norms corresponding to Sobolev spaces W(s;p) and Besov spaces B(-b, infty, infty). When the value p which characterizes Sobolev space is strictly larger than 1, the required result is well known in R^n and is classically obtained by a Littlewood-Paley dyadic blocks manipulation. For these inequalities we will develop here another totally different technique. When p = 1, these two techniques are not available anymore and following M. Ledoux in R^n, we will treat here the critical case p = 1 for general stratified Lie groups in a weighted functional space setting. Finally, we will go a step further with a new generalization of Improved Sobolev inequalities using weak-type Sobolev spaces., Comment: 17 pages
