Abstract

This paper considers the temperature patch problem for the incompressible Boussinesq system with no diffusion and viscosity in the whole space R2\mathbb{R}^2. We prove that for initial patches with W2,W^{2,\infty} boundary the curvature remains bounded for all time. The proof explores new cancellations that allow us to bound 2u\nabla^2u, even for those components given by time dependent singular integrals with kernels with nonzero mean on circles. In addition, we give a different proof of the C1+γC^{1+\gamma} regularity result in [23], 0<γ<10<\gamma<1, using the scale of Sobolev spaces for the velocity. Furthermore, taking advantage of the new cancellations, we go beyond to show the persistence of regularity for C2+γC^{2+\gamma} patches.
