Abstract
In this paper we study the 2D quasi-geostrophic equation with and without dissipation. We give global existence results of weak solutions for an initial data in the space L p or \(\dot{H}^{-1/2}\) . In the dissipative case, when the initial data is in L p, p > 2, we give a regularity result of these solutions.
