Poon-type logarithmic lower bound for Sobolev advection diffusion

Fix p[1,+)p\in[1,+\infty). Let bC([0,T]×Td)b\in C^{\infty}([0,T]\times\mathbb{T}^d) be divergence free and let u0W1,2(Td)u_0\in W^{1,2}(\mathbb{T}^d). If uνu^\nu is a solution of the advection diffusion equation, then Poon-type logarithmic lower-bound conjecture. For every ν(0,1)\nu\in(0,1) and t>0t>0,

utL22u0L22exp{log(1/ν)pC10texp{C20sbrLp ⁣dr} ⁣ds},\left\lVert u_t\right\rVert_{L^2}^2\geq \left\lVert u_0\right\rVert_{L^2}^2\exp\left\lbrace-\log(1/\nu)^{-p}C_1\int_0^t\exp\left\lbrace C_2\int_0^s\left\lVert\nabla b_r\right\rVert_{L^p}\mathop{}\!\mathrm{d}r\right\rbrace\mathop{}\!\mathrm{d}s\right\rbrace,

where C1=C1(u0,p,d)>0C_1=C_1(u_0,p,d)>0 and C2=C2(p,d)>0C_2=C_2(p,d)>0. This is proposed as a natural Sobolev analogue of Poon's smooth-velocity estimate; the paper presents it as a conjectural lower bound.
