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,…
It is well known that vortex patches are wellposed in $C^{1,\alpha}$ if $0<\alpha <1$. In this paper, we prove the illposedness of $C^{2}$ vortex patches. The setup is to consider the vortex patches in Sobolev spaces $W^{2,p}$ where the…
We establish the well/ill-posedness theories for the inviscid $\alpha$-surface quasi-geostrophic ($\alpha$-SQG) equations in H\"older spaces, where $\alpha = 0$ and $\alpha = 1$ correspond to the two-dimensional Euler equation in the…
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 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…
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 SQG equation without dissipation on the half-plane with Dirichlet boundary condition, and prove local wellposedness in the spaces $W^{3,p}$ and $C^{2,\beta}$ for any $1<p<\infty$ and $0<\beta<1$. We complement this…
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…
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…
This paper is concerned with the Cauchy problem of the quadratic nonlinear Schr\"{o}dinger equation in $\mathbb{R} \times \mathbb{R}^2$ with the nonlinearity $\eta |u|^2$ where $\eta \in \mathbb{C} \setminus \{0\}$ and low regularity…
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…
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 prove that the 2D Euler equations are not locally well-posed in $C^1$. Our approach relies on the technique of Lagrangian deformations and norm inflation of Bourgain and Li. We show that the assumption that the data-to-solution map is…
We investiage the (slightly) super-critical 2-D Euler equations. The paper consists of two parts. In the first part we prove well-posedness in $C^s$ spaces for all $s>0.$ We also give growth estimates for the $C^s$ norms of the vorticity…
We investigate the Dirichlet problem of the two dimensional Lagrangian mean curvature equation in a bounded domain. Infinitely many $C^{1, \alpha} (\alpha\in (0,\frac{1}{5}))$ very weak solutions are built through Nash-Kuiper construction.…
In this paper, we revisit the patch solutions for a class of inviscid whole-space active scalar equations that interpolate between the 2D Euler equation and the $\alpha$-SQG equation. Compared with the 2D Euler equation in vorticity form,…
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…
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…
