Abstract: We consider Dirichlet problems for linear elliptic equations of second order in divergence form on a bounded or exterior smooth domain $Omega$ in $mathbb{R}^n$, $nge3$, with drifts $mathbfb$ in the critical weak $L^n$-space $L^{n,infty}(Omega;mathbb{R}^n)$. First, assuming that the drift $mathbfb$ has nonnegative weak divergence in $L^{n/2,infty}(Omega)$, we establish existence and uniqueness of weak solutions in $W^{1,p}(Omega)$ or $D^{1,p}(Omega)$ for any $p$ with $n^{\prime }=n/(n-1)<p<n$. By duality, a similar result also holds for the dual problem. Next, we prove $W^{1,n+varepsilon}$ or $W^{2,n/2+delta}$-regularity of weak solutions of the dual problem for some $varepsilon,delta>0$ when the domain $Omega$ is bounded. By duality, these results enable us to obtain a quite general uniqueness result as well as an existence result for weak solutions belonging to $$. Finally, we prove a uniqueness result for exterior problems, which implies in particular that (very weak) solutions are unique in both $L^{n/(n-2),infty}(Omega)$ and $L^{n,infty}(Omega)$.
