Sub and supercritical stochastic quasi-geostrophic equation

Abstract

In this paper, we study the 2D stochastic quasi-geostrophic equation on $\mathbb{T}^2$ for general parameter $\alpha\in(0,1)$ and multiplicative noise. We prove the existence of weak solutions and Markov selections for multiplicative noise for all $\alpha\in(0,1)$. In the subcritical case $\alpha>1/2$, we prove existence and uniqueness of (probabilistically) strong solutions. Moreover, we prove ergodicity for the solution of the stochastic quasi-geostrophic equations in the subcritical case driven by possibly degenerate noise. The law of large numbers for the solution of the stochastic quasi-geostrophic equations in the subcritical case is also established. In the case of nondegenerate noise and $\alpha>2/3$ in addition exponential ergodicity is proved.
