Bressan's mixing conjecture for Sobolev velocity fields

Let bL([0,),W1,1(Td,Rd))b\in L^{\infty}([0,\infty),W^{1,1}(\mathbb{T}^d,\mathbb{R}^d)) be divergence free, and let ρ\rho denote the mixing rate associated with an initial datum u0u_0. Bressan's mixing conjecture. There exist c>0c>0 and C>0C>0, depending only on u0u_0, such that

ρ(t)Cexp{ctbLtLx1}\rho(t)\ge C\exp\left\lbrace-ct\left\lVert\nabla b\right\rVert_{L^{\infty}_tL^1_x}\right\rbrace

for every t0t\geq 0. The conjecture asserts a universal exponential lower bound on mixing in the nonsmooth setting and is presented here as an open question.
