In this seminar I will present two results regarding the uniqueness
(and further properties) for the two-dimensional continuity equation
and the ordinary differential equation in the case when the vector
field is bounded, divergence free and satisfies additional conditions
on its distributional curl. Such settings appear in a very natural way
in various situations, for instance when considering two-dimensional
incompressible fluids. I will in particular describe the following two
cases:
(1) The vector field is time-independent and its curl is a (locally
finite) measure (without any sign condition).
(2) The vector field is time-dependent and its curl belongs to L^1.
