Surface Quasi-Geostrophic Equation driven by Space-Time White Noise

Abstract: We consider the Surface Quasi-Geostrophic equation (SQG) driven by space-time white noise and show the existence of a local in time solution by applying the theory of regularity structures. A main difficulty is the presence of Riesz-transforms in the non-linearity. We show how to lift singular integral operators with a particular structure to the level of regularity structures and using this result we deduce the existence of a solution to SQG by a renormalisation procedure. The fact that the Riesz-transforms act only in the spatial variable makes it necessary to use inhomogeneous models instead of the standard ones.
