Abstract
We study the two dimensional dissipative quasi-geostrophic equations in the Sobolev space Existence and uniqueness of the solution local in time is proved in Hs when s>2(1−α). Existence and uniqueness of the solution global in time is also proved in Hs when s≥2(1−α) and the initial data is small. For the case, s>2(1−α), we also obtain the unique large global solution in Hs provided that is small enough.
