Abstract

The purpose of this project is to study time periodic solutions for the inviscid generalized surface quasi-geostrophic equations and a 1D transport equation with nonlocal velocities. We intend to obtain the existence of non trivial rotating and traveling vortex patches by suitable perturbation of stationary solutions. The construction of those special solutions are done through a combination of a desingularization of the vorticity and bifurcation theory. In general, the spectral problemis very delicate and strongly depends on the shape of the initial stationary solutions.
