Nonnegative measure-valued solutions of the continuity equation are uniquely determined by their initial condition, if the characteristic ODE associated to the velocity field has a unique solution. In this paper we give a partial extension of this result to signed measure-valued solutions, under a quantitative two-sided Osgood condition on the velocity field. Our results extend those obtained for log-Lipschitz vector fields by Bahouri and Chemin.

In this work a theorical framework to apply the Poincare compactification technique to locally Lipschitz continuous vector fields is developed. It is proved that these vectors fields are compactifiable in the n-dimensional sphere, though the compactified vector field can be identically null in the equator. Moreover, for a fixed projection to the hemisphere, all the compactifications of a vector field, which are not identically null on the equator are equivalent. Also, the conditions determining the invariance of the equator for the compactified vector field are obtained. Up to the knowledge of the authors, this is the first time that the Poincare compactification of locally Lipschitz continuous vector fields is studied. These results are illustrated applying them to some families of vector fields, like polynomial vector fields, vector fields defined as a sum of homogeneous functions and vector fields defined by piecewise linear functions.
We use the notion of isomorphism between two invariant vector fields to shed new light on the issue of linearization of an invariant vector field near a relative equilibrium. We argue that the notion is useful in understanding the passage from the space of invariant vector fields in a tube around a group orbit to the space invariant vector fields on a slice to the orbit. The notion comes from Hepworths study of vector fields on stacks.
We prove a non-mixing property of the flow of the 3D Euler equation which has a local nature: in any neighbourhood of a typical steady solution there is a generic set of initial conditions, such that the corresponding Euler flows will never enter a vicinity of the original steady one. More precisely, we establish that there exist stationary solutions $u_0$ of the Euler equation on $mathbb S^3$ and divergence-free vector fields $v_0$ arbitrarily close to $u_0$, whose (non-steady) evolution by the Euler flow cannot converge in the $C^k$ Holder norm ($k>10$ non-integer) to any stationary state in a small (but fixed a priori) $C^k$-neighbourhood of $u_0$. The set of such initial conditions $v_0$ is open and dense in the vicinity of $u_0$. A similar (but weaker) statement also holds for the Euler flow on $mathbb T^3$. Two essential ingredients in the proof of this result are a geometric description of all steady states near certain nondegenerate stationary solutions, and a KAM-type argument to generate knotted invariant tori from elliptic orbits.
Unless another thing is stated one works in the $C^infty$ category and manifolds have empty boundary. Let $X$ and $Y$ be vector fields on a manifold $M$. We say that $Y$ tracks $X$ if $[Y,X]=fX$ for some continuous function $fcolon Mrightarrowmathbb R$. A subset $K$ of the zero set ${mathsf Z}(X)$ is an essential block for $X$ if it is non-empty, compact, open in ${mathsf Z}(X)$ and its Poincare-Hopf index does not vanishes. One says that $X$ is non-flat at $p$ if its $infty$-jet at $p$ is non-trivial. A point $p$ of ${mathsf Z}(X)$ is called a primary singularity of $X$ if any vector field defined about $p$ and tracking $X$ vanishes at $p$. This is our main result: Consider an essential block $K$ of a vector field $X$ defined on a surface $M$. Assume that $X$ is non-flat at every point of $K$. Then $K$ contains a primary singularity of $X$. As a consequence, if $M$ is a compact surface with non-zero characteristic and $X$ is nowhere flat, then there exists a primary singularity of $X$.
For a smooth near identity map, we introduce the notion of an interpolating vector field written in terms of iterates of the map. Our construction is based on Lagrangian interpolation and provides an explicit expressions for autonomous vector fields which approximately interpolate the map. We study properties of the interpolating vector fields and explore their applications to the study of dynamics. In particular, we construct adiabatic invariants for symplectic near identity maps. We also introduce the notion of a Poincare section for a near identity map and use it to visualise dynamics of four dimensional maps. We illustrate our theory with several examples, including the Chirikov standard map and a symplectic map in dimension four, an example motivated by the theory of Arnold diffusion.
