  • We prove a conjecture in fluid dynamics concerning optimal bounds for heat transportation in the infinite Prandtl number limit. Due to a maximum principle property for the temperature exploited by Constantin-Doering and Otto-Seis, this amounts to proving a-priori bounds for horizontally-periodic solutions of a fourth-order equation in a strip of large width. Such bounds are obtained here using Fourier analysis, integral representations, and a bilinear estimate due to Coifman and Meyer which uses the Carleson measure characterization of BMO functions by Fefferman.
