On convex integration solutions to the surface quasi-geostrophic equation driven by generic additive noise

Abstract

We study the surface quasi-geostrophic equation driven by a generic additive noise process $W$. By means of convex integration techniques, we establish existence of weak solutions whenever the stochastic convolution $z$ associated with $W$ is well defined and fulfills certain regularity constraints. Quintessentially, we show that the so constructed solutions to the non-linear equation are controlled by $z$ in a linear fashion. This allows us to deduce further properties of the so constructed solutions, without relying on structural probabilistic properties such as Gaussianity, Markovianity or a martingale property of the underlying noise $W$.
