Ergodicity for stochastic 2D Boussinesq equations with a highly degenerate pure jump Levy noise

Abstract: This study aims to analyze the ergodicity for stochastic 2D Boussinesq equations and explore the impact of a highly degenerate pure jump Levy noise acting only in the temperature equation, this noise could appear on a few Fourier modes. By leveraging the equi-continuity of the semigroup-established through Malliavin calculus and an analysis of stochastic calculus-together with the weak irreducibility of the solution process, we prove the existence and uniqueness of the invariant measure. Moreover, we overcome the main challenge of establishing time asymptotic smoothing properties of the Markovian dynamics corresponding to this system by conducting spectral analysis of the Malliavin covariance matrix.
