Abstract

For any initial datum $\theta_0\in L^{\frac{4}{3}}_x$ it is proved the existence of a global-in-time weak solution $\theta \in L^\infty_t L^{\frac43}_x$ to the surface quasi-geostrophic equation whose Hamiltonian, i.e. the $\dot{H}^{-\frac{1}{2}}_x$ norm, is constant in time. The solution is obtained as a vanishing viscosity limit. Outside the classical strong compactness setting, the main idea is to propagate in time the non-concentration of the $L^{\frac{4}{3}}_x$ norm of the initial data, from which strong compactness in the Hamiltonian norm is deduced. General no anomalous dissipation results under minimal Onsager supercritical assumptions are also obtained.
