Abstract: We study a general class of Euler equations driven by a forcing with a emph{commutator structure} of the form [mathcalL,mathbfu](ho)=mathcalL(homathbfu)mathcalL(ho)mathbfu, where mathbfu is the velocity field and mathcalL is the "action" which belongs to a rather general class of translation invariant operators. Such systems arise, for example, as the hydrodynamic description of velocity alignment, where action involves convolutions with bounded, positive influence kernels, mathcalLphi(f)=phif. Our interest lies with a much larger class of mathcalL's which are neither bounded nor positive. In this paper we develop a global regularity theory in the one-dimensional setting, considering three prototypical sub-classes of actions. We prove global regularity for emph{bounded} phi's which otherwise are allowed to change sign. Here we derive sharp critical thresholds such that sub-critical initial data (ho0,u0) give rise to global smooth solutions. Next, we study emph{singular} actions associated with mathcalL=(partialxx)alpha/2, which embed the fractional Burgers' equation of order alpha. We prove global regularity for alphain[1,2). Interestingly, the singularity of the fractional kernel |x|(n+alpha), avoids an initial threshold restriction. Global regularity of the critical endpoint alpha=1 follows with double-exponential W1,infty-bounds. Finally, for the other endpoint alpha=2, we prove the global regularity of the Navier-Stokes equations with density-dependent viscosity associated with the emph{local} mathcalL=Delta.
