We establish a well-posedness theory and a blow-up criterion for the Chaplygin gas equations in [Formula: see text] for any dimension [Formula: see text]. First, given [Formula: see text], [Formula: see text], we prove the well-posedness property for solutions [Formula: see text] in the space [Formula: see text] for the Cauchy problem associated with the Chaplygin gas equations, provided the initial density [Formula: see text] is bounded below. We also prove that the solution of the Chaplygin gas equations depends continuously upon its initial data [Formula: see text] in [Formula: see text] if [Formula: see text], and we state a blow-up criterion for the solutions in the classical BMO space. Finally, using Osgood’s modulus of continuity, we establish a refined blow-up criterion of the solutions.
