What is Parabolic equations with divergence-free drift in space $L {t}^{l}L {x}^{q}$ about?

In this paper we study the fundamental solution $\varGamma(t,x;\tau,\xi)$ of the parabolic operator $L_{t}=\partial_{t}-\Delta+b(t,x)\cdot\nabla$, where for every $t$, $b(t,\cdot)$ is a divergence-free vector field, and we consider the case that $b$ belongs to the Lebesgue space $L^{l}\left(0,T;L^{q}\left(\mathbb{R}^{n}\right)\right)$. The regularity of weak solutions to the parabolic equation $L_{t}u=0$ depends critically on the value of the parabolic exponent $\gamma=\frac{2}{l}+\frac{n}{q}$. Without the divergence-free condition on $b$, the regularity of weak solutions has been established when $\gamma\leq1$, and the heat kernel estimate has been obtained as well, except for the case that $l=\infty,q=n$. The regularity of weak solutions was deemed not true for the critical case $L^{\infty}\left(0,T;L^{n}\left(\mathbb{R}^{n}\right)\right)$ for a general $b$, while it is true for the divergence-free case, and a written proof can be deduced from the results in [Semenov, 2006]. One of the results obtained in the present paper establishes the Aronson type estimate for critical and supercritical cases and for vector fields $b$ which are divergence-free. We will prove the best possible
