Smooth nonradial stationary solutions to SQG via the half-Yamabe equation
Abstract
We prove the existence of infinitely many smooth nonradial stationary solutions to the surface quasi-geostrophic (SQG) equation with finite kinetic energy. Our construction is based on a family of nonradial sign-changing solutions to the two-dimensional half-Yamabe equation, obtained via a Lyapunov--Schmidt reduction and concentrated at the vertices of a regular polygon. As the number of vertices tends to infinity, the associated stationary SQG solutions converge to a radial stationary profile centered at the origin, together with a lower-order vortex sheet correction.
