Abstract

Positive semi-definite symmetric tensors whose divergence is a bounded measure enjoy a property of enhance integrability. This tool can be used to find new estimates in fluid dynamics, at every level of description, from microscopic to macroscopic. I shall explain how this theory is related to Monge-Ampère equation and transport theory. Then I shall discuss Euler and Boltzmann equations, and molecular dynamics.
