Energy and helicity conservation for the generalized quasi-geostrophic equation

In this paper, we consider the 2-D generalized surface quasi-geostrophic equation with the velocity $v$ determined by $v=\mathcal{R}^{\perp}Λ^{γ-1}θ$. It is shown that the $L^p$ type energy norm of weak solutions is conserved provided $θ\in L^{p+1}(0,T; {B}^{\fracγ{3}}_{p+1, c(\mathbb{N})})$ for $0<γ<\frac32$ or $θ\in L^{p+1}(0,T; {B}^α_{p+1,\infty})~\text{for any}~γ-1<α<1 \text{ with} ~\frac{3}{2}\leq γ<2$. Moreover, we also prove that the helicity of weak solutions satisfying $\nablaθ\in L^{3}(0,T;\dot{B}_{3,c(\mathbb{N})}^{\fracγ{3}})$ for $0<γ<\frac32$ or $\nablaθ\in L^{3}(0,T; \dot{B}^α_{3,\infty})~\text{for any}~γ-1<α<1 \text{ with} ~\frac{3}{2}\leq γ<2$ is invariant. Therefore, the accurate relationships between the critical regularity for the energy (helicity) conservation of the weak solutions and the regularity of velocity in 2-D generalized quasi-geostrophic equation are presented.
