Regularization by transport noise for 2D fluid dynamics equations

Regularization by transport noise for 2D fluid dynamics equations
Series: Early Career Math Colloquium
Location: Online
Presenter: Galeati Lucio, EPFL
A major open problem in fluid dynamics is to understand whether solutions to 2D incompressible Euler equations with $L^p$-valued vorticity are unique, for some $p\in [1,\infty)$. A related question, more probabilistic in flavour, is whether one can find a physically meaningful noise restoring well-posedness of the PDE.
In this talk I will present some recent advances on the latter problem, for a class of slightly regularised 2D Euler-type equations (specifically, logEuler and hypodissipative Navier-Stokes), in the presence of a rough Kraichnan-type noise, modelling the small scales of a turbulent fluid; uniqueness in law can then be shown for solutions with $L^2$-valued vorticity.
