It is well known that the incompressible Euler equations in two dimensions have globally regular solutions. The inviscid surface quasi-geostrophic (SQG) equation has a Biot-Savart law which is one derivative less regular than in the Euler…
In this paper, we investigate a class of inviscid generalized surface quasi-geostrophic (SQG) equations on the half-plane with a rigid boundary. Compared to the Biot-Savart law in the vorticity form of the 2D Euler equation, the velocity…
We show that the generalized SQG equation with $\alpha\in(0,\frac 14]$ is locally well-posed on the half-plane in spaces of bounded integrable solutions that are natural for its dynamic on domains with boundaries, and allow for some power…
We study patch solutions of a family of transport equations given by a parameter $\alpha$, $0< \alpha <2$, with the cases $\alpha =0$ and $\alpha =1$ corresponding to the Euler and the surface quasi-geostrophic equations respectively. In…
We consider the patch problem of the $\alpha$-SQG equation with $\alpha=0$ being the 2D Euler and $\alpha= \frac{1}{2}$ the SQG equations respectively. In the Eulerian setting, we prove the uniqueness of patch solutions of regularity $W^{2,…
We consider the inviscid generalized surface quasi-geostrophic equation (gSQG) in a patch setting, where the parameter $\alpha \in (1,2)$. The cases $\alpha = 0$ and $\alpha = 1$ correspond to 2d Euler and SQG respectively, and our choice…
We investigate the well-posedness of $\alpha$-SQG equations in the half-plane, where $\alpha=0$ and $\alpha=1$ correspond to the 2D Euler and SQG equations respectively. For $0<\alpha \le 1/2$, we prove local well-posedness in certain…
We prove local well-posedness as well as singularity formation for the g-SQG patch model on the plane (so on a domain without a boundary), with $\alpha\in(0,\frac 16]$ and patches being allowed to touch each other. We do this by bypassing…
We consider a family of contour dynamics equations depending on a parameter $\al$ with $0<\alpha\leq 1$. The vortex patch problem of the 2-D Euler equation is obtained taking $\alpha\to 0$, and the case $\alpha=1$ corresponds to a sharp…
This paper studies a family of generalized surface quasi-geostrophic (SQG) equations for an active scalar $\theta$ on the whole plane whose velocities have been mildly regularized, for instance, logarithmically. The well-posedness of these…
This paper investigates time-periodic solutions of both the surface quasi-geostrophic (SQG) equation and its generalized form (gSQG) within the more singular regime, focusing on the evolution of patch-type structures. Assuming the…
We prove that splash-like singularities cannot occur for sufficiently regular patch solutions to the generalized surface quasi-geostrophic equation on the plane or half-plane with parameter $\alpha\le \frac 14$. This includes potential…
We show that the generalized SQG equation on the plane is locally well-posed in spaces of low regularity solutions (essentially H\"older continuous with H\"older exponents depending on the equation parameter $\alpha\in(0,\frac 12)$) that…
We introduce and analyze a class of Surface Quasi-Geostrophic (SQG) equations in the presence of moving rigid obstacles. The model is motivated both by vortex-wave type asymptotics for singular structures in active scalar equations and by…
Any classical solution of the 2D incompressible Euler equation is global in time. However, it remains an outstanding open problem whether classical solutions of the surface quasi-geostrophic (SQG) equation preserve their regularity for all…
The first part of this article studies the collapses of point-vortices for the Euler equation in the plane and for surface quasi-geostrophic equations in the general setting of $\alpha$ models. In these models the kernel of the Biot-Savart…
SQG describes the 2D active transport of a scalar field, such as temperature, which -- when properly rescaled -- shares the same physical dimension of length/time as the advecting velocity field. This duality has motivated analogies with 3D…
Inspired by recent developments in Berdina-like models for turbulence, we propose an inviscid regularization for the surface quasi-geostrophic (SQG) equations. We are particularly interested in the celebrated question of blowup in finite…
In this paper, we study the radial symmetry properties of stationary and uniformly-rotating solutions of the 2D Euler and gSQG equations, both in the smooth setting and the patch setting. For the 2D Euler equation, we show that any smooth…
This paper establishes several existence and uniqueness results for two families of active scalar equations with velocity fields determined by the scalars through very singular integrals. The first family is a generalized surface…
