Classical solutions for a logarithmic fractional diffusion equation

We prove global existence and uniqueness of strong solutions to the logarithmic porous medium type equation with fractional diffusion $\partial_tu+(-Δ)^{1/2}\log(1+u)=0,$ posed for $x\in \mathbb{R}$, with nonnegative initial data in some function space of $L \logL$ type. The solutions are shown to become bounded and $C^\infty$ smooth in $(x,t)$ for all positive times. We also reformulate this equation as a transport equation with nonlocal velocity and critical viscosity, a topic of current relevance. Interesting functional inequalities are involved.
