Optimality of integrability estimates for advection-diffusion equations

Abstract: We discuss $L^p$ integrability estimates for the solution $u$ of the advection-diffusion equation $\partial_t u + \mathrm{div} (bu) = \Delta u$, where the velocity field $b \in L^r_t L^q_x$. We first summarize some classical results proving such estimates for certain ranges of the exponents $r$ and $q$. Afterwards we prove the optimality of such ranges by means of new original examples.
