Existence and uniqueness by Kraichnan noise for 2D Euler equations with unbounded vorticity

Abstract

We consider the 2D Euler equations on $\R^2$ in vorticity form, with unbounded initial vorticity, perturbed by a suitable non-smooth Kraichnan transport noise, with regularity index $\alpha\in (0,1)$. We show weak existence for every $\dot{H}^{-1}$ initial vorticity. Thanks to the noise, the solutions that we construct are limits in law of a regularized stochastic Euler equation and enjoy an additional $L^2([0,T];H^{-\alpha})$ regularity. For every $p>3/2$ and for certain regularity indices $\alpha \in (0,1/2)$ of the Kraichnan noise, we show also pathwise uniqueness for every $L^p$ initial vorticity. This result is not known without noise.
