Global regularity of critical SQG via a pointwise Leibniz commutator formula

Abstract

We give a short proof of global regularity for the critical dissipative SQG equation in two dimensions. The argument is based on a pointwise representation of the Leibniz commutator for the half-Laplacian, recently obtained by the author with Luca Gennaioli, which simplifies and unifies the nonlinear estimates used in previous maximum principle proofs.
