Abstract

Recent years have seen spectacular progress in the mathematical study of hydrodynamic equations. Novel tools from convex integration in particular prove extremely versatile in establishing non-uniqueness results. Motivated by this 'pathological' behavior of solutions in the deterministic setting, stochastic models of fluid dynamics have enjoyed growing interest from the mathematical community. Inspired by the theory of 'regularization by noise', it is hoped for that stochasticity might help avoid 'pathologies' such as non-uniqueness of weak solutions. Current research however shows that convex integration methods can prevail even in spite of random perturbations.
