Meaning of Alberti rank-one theorem
Heuristically what does Alberti's rank-one theorem imply about the structure of a $\mathrm{BV}$ vector field $\boldsymbol{b}$?
Is it rigorously fair to say that the level lines of $\boldsymbol{b}$ ...

Role of absolute continuity of divergence of BV function in proof of renormalization property
In the paper http://cvgmt.sns.it/paper/436/, the author proves the renormalization property for the flow generated by a vector field $a(t,\cdot) \in BV(\mathbb{R}^N; \mathbb{R}^N)$.
Heuristically, ...

Prove $\int_{\mathbb R^N \setminus \Omega} |x - z|^{-N-s} dz \approx dist(x,\partial \Omega)^{-s}$, $s \in (0,2)$
Let $\Omega \subset \mathbb R^N$ and $s \in (0,2)$. Under what assumptions on $\partial \Omega$ do we have
$$\int_{\mathbb R^N \setminus \Omega} |x - z|^{-N-s} dz \approx \mathrm{dist}(x,\partial \...

Estimating the size of $\Omega_r=\{x\in\Omega: \text{dist}(x,\partial\Omega)<r \}$
Let $\Omega$ be a bounded domain in $\Bbb R^n$. Define
$$
\Omega_r=\{x\in\Omega: \text{dist}(x,\partial\Omega)<r \},
$$
i.e. it the ring of thickness $r$ at the boundary of $\Omega$. Intuitively, ...

Role of the divergence of the vector field in transport equations: mass concentration?
Consider the continuity equation
$$\partial_t u(t,x) + \mathrm{div}(a(t,x)u(t,x)) = 0,$$
where $u: [0,T]\times \mathbb{R}^N \to \mathbb{R}$ is the solution and $a:[0,T]\times \mathbb{R}^N \to \...

Alberti rank-one theorem and reduction of the study of BV function to the two-dimensional case
By Alberti rank-one theorem, could it be possible to reduce the study of a function $u \in BV(\mathbb{R}^N, \mathbb{R}^N)$ to the study of a function $\tilde{u} \in BV(\mathbb{R}^2, \mathbb{R}^2)$? At ...
