Assuming that the ambient space has dimension $d=2$, we prove uniqueness of weak solutions to the transport equation. The starting point of the present work is the result which has been obtained in [7] (where the steady case is treated). Our proof is based on splitting the equation onto a suitable partition of the plane: this technique was introduced in [3], using the results on the structure of level sets of Lipschitz maps obtained in [1]. Furthermore, in order to construct the partition, we use Ambrosio's superposition principle [4].</p>1 aBianchini, Stefano1 aBonicatto, Paolo1 aGusev, N.A.  uhttps://doi.org/10.1137/15M100738000470nas a2200109   4500008004100000245008400041210006900125260001000194100002300204700001600227856011700243       2014                        en  d00aSteady nearly incompressible vector  elds in 2D: chain rule and renormalization0 aSteady nearly incompressible vector elds in 2D chain rule and re  bSISSA1 aBianchini, Stefano1 aGusev, N.A.  uhttps://www.math.sissa.it/publication/steady-nearly-incompressible-vector-elds-2d-chain-rule-and-renormalization
