Geometric interpretation of the vanishing Lie Bracket for two-dimensional rough vector fields

In this paper, we prove that if X , Y are continuous, Sobolev vector fields with bounded divergence on the real plane and [ X , Y ] = 0 , then their flows commute. In particular, we improve the previous result of [13] , where the authors require the additional assumption of the weak Lie differentiability on one of the two flows. We also discuss possible extensions to the BV setting.

Abstract

In this paper, we prove that if X , Y are continuous, Sobolev vector fields with bounded divergence on the real plane and [ X , Y ] = 0 , then their flows commute. In particular, we improve the previous result of [13] , where the authors require the additional assumption of the weak Lie differentiability on one of the two flows. We also discuss possible extensions to the BV setting.
