Abstract: We construct divergence-free Sobolev vector fields in C([0,1];W^{1,r}(T^d;R^d)) with r < d and d >=2 which simultaneously admit any finite number of distinct positive solutions to the continuity equation. We then show that the vector fields we produce have at least as many integral curves starting from a.e. point of T^d as the number of distinct positive solutions to the continuity equation these vector fields admit. Our work uses convex integration techniques for the continuity equation introduced in [L. Szekelyhidi and S. Modena, Annals of PDE, 2018] and [E. Brue, M. Colombo, C. De Lellis, Archive for Rational Mechanics and Analysis, 2021 ] to study non-uniqueness for positive solutions. We then infer non-uniqueness for integral curves from Ambrosio superposition principle.
