In this talk, we prove that the inviscid surface quasi-geostrophic (SQG) equation is strongly ill-posed in critical Sobolev spaces: there exists an initial data $H^2(\mathbb{R}^2)$ without any solutions in $L^{\infty}_tH^2$. Then, we introduce similar ill-posedness results for $\alpha$-SQG and two-dimensional incompressible Euler equations. This talk is based on joint works with In-Jee Jeong(SNU), Young-Pil Choi(Yonsei Univ.), Jinwook Jung(Hanyang Univ.), and Min Jun Jo(Duke Univ.).
