Solution properties of the incompressible Euler system with rough path advection

Abstract

The present paper aims to establish the local well-posedness of Euler's fluid equations on geometric rough paths. In particular, we consider the Euler equations for the incompressible flow of an ideal fluid whose Lagrangian transport velocity possesses an additional rough-in-time, divergence-free vector field. In recent work, we have demonstrated that this system can be derived from Clebsch and Hamilton-Pontryagin variational principles that possess a perturbative geometric rough path Lie-advection constraint. In this paper, we prove the local well-posedness of the system in L2-Sobolev spaces Hm with integer regularity m≥⌊d/2⌋+2 and establish a Beale-Kato-Majda (BKM) blow-up criterion in terms of the Lt1Lx∞-norm of the vorticity. In dimension two, we show that the Lp-norms of the vorticity are conserved, which yields global well-posedness and a Wong-Zakai approximation theorem for the stochastic version of the equation.
