Lions' maximal regularity conjecture for viscous Hamilton-Jacobi equations

Consider the viscous Hamilton-Jacobi equation

Δu+Duγ=f(x)in Ω,--\Delta u+|Du|^\gamma=f(x)\quad\text{in }\Omega,

where Ω\Omega is a domain, γ>1\gamma>1, and fLq(Ω)f\in L^q(\Omega) with q>1q>1. Write γ=γγ1\gamma'=\frac{\gamma}{\gamma-1} for the conjugate exponent. Lions' conjecture. If

q>dγ=d(γ1)γ,q>\frac{d}{\gamma'}=\frac{d(\gamma-1)}{\gamma},

then every solution satisfies the a priori estimate

D2uLq+DuγLqC(fLq,d,q,γ).\|D^2u\|_{L^q}+\||Du|^\gamma\|_{L^q}\leq C(\|f\|_{L^q},d,q,\gamma).

Moreover, the estimate is false when qd/γq\leq d/\gamma'. This conjecture concerns maximal LqL^q-regularity for viscous Hamilton-Jacobi equations with unbounded source terms; the source attributes it to P.-L. Lions. The supplied text does not indicate whether it has been resolved.
