Bressan's compactness conjecture for nearly incompressible flows
Let , , be a sequence of smooth vector fields, and let denote their classical flows. Assume that
is uniformly bounded, and that the flows are uniformly nearly incompressible: for some constant ,
Bressan's compactness conjecture. Under these assumptions, the sequence is strongly precompact in .
This conjecture concerns compactness of flows under uniform bounds on the vector fields and their gradients and a uniform nondegeneracy condition on the Jacobians. The source notes that a positive answer to the renormalization conjecture would imply a positive answer to this compactness conjecture.
