The two-dimensional incompressible Boussinesq equations with general critical dissipation. (English) Zbl 1319.35193

From authors’ summary: The paper studies the global (in time) regularity of solutions to the two-dimensional incompressible Boussinesq equations with a general critical dissipation. The novelty of the paper is the reduction of the critical Boussinesq system to a critical active scalar equation or, more precisely, the generalized critical surface quasi-geostrophic equation. When the parameter \(\alpha\) of the Zigmund operator is restricted to a suitable range, the global regularity of the critical Boussinesq system is obtained by exploiting the global regularity of this scalar equation and the global bound for a combined quantity of the vorticity and the temperature.
