Abstract

We consider the global attractor of the critical surface quasi-geostrophic (SQG) semigroup S(t) on the scale-invariant space H1(double-struck T2). It was shown in [15] that this attractor is finite dimensional, and that it attracts uniformly bounded sets in H1+δ(double-struck T2) for any δ > 0, leaving open the question of uniform attraction in H1(double-struck T2). In this paper we prove the uniform attraction in H1(double-struck T2), by combining ideas from the De Giorgi iteration and nonlinear maximum principles.
