We prove that the inviscid surface quasi-geostrophic (SQG) equations are strongly ill-posed in critical Sobolev spaces: there exists an initial data $H^{2}(\bbT^2)$ without any solutions in $L^\infty_{t}H^{2}$. Moreover, we prove strong…

In this paper, we consider a family of piecewise constant solutions of the quasi-geostrophic shallow-water (QGSW) equation. We derive the contour dynamics equation of the QGSW front, which is a nonlinear, nonlocal dispersive equation, and…

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…

We consider the cubic non-linear Schr\"odinger equation on general closed (compact without boundary) Riemannian surfaces. The problem is known to be locally well-posed in $H^s(M)$ for $s>1/2$. Global well-posedness for $s\geq 1$ follows…

Quasi-geostrophic flow is an asymptotic theory for flows in rotating systems that are in geostrophic balance to leading order. It is characterized by the conservation of (quasi-geostrophic) potential vorticity and weak vertical flows.…

We study solutions to the $\alpha$-SQG equations, which interpolate between the incompressible Euler and surface quasi-geostrophic equations. We extend prior results on existence of bounded patches, proving propagation of $H^k$-regularity…

In recent work, two of the authors proposed a broad global well-posedness conjecture for cubic quasilinear dispersive equations in two space dimensions, which asserts that global well-posedness and scattering holds for small initial data in…

We construct solutions in $\mathbb{R}^2$ with finite energy of the surface quasi-geostrophic equations (SQG) that initially are in $C^k$ ($k\geq 2$) but that are not in $C^{k}$ for $t>0$. We prove a similar result also for $H^{s}$ in the…
