Applications of Bourgain–Brézis inequalities to fluid mechanics and magnetism
[Applications des inégalités de Bourgain–Brézis à la mécanique des fluides et au magnétisme]
Comptes Rendus. Mathématique, Tome 354 (2016) no. 1, pp. 51-55.

À partir d'inégalités de Bourgain–Brézis, nous démontrons le caractère bien posé localement dans le temps des équations de Navier–Stokes avec vitesse bornée en espace-temps et un tourbillon initial à variation bornée. Nous obtenons également des estimations en espace-temps pour le champ magnétique grâce à des inégalités de Strichartz améliorées.

As a consequence of inequalities due to Bourgain–Brézis, we obtain local-in-time well-posedness for the two-dimensional Navier–Stokes equation with velocity bounded in spacetime and initial vorticity in bounded variation. We also obtain spacetime estimates for the magnetic field vector through improved Strichartz inequalities.
