Holder Continuous Solutions of Active Scalar Equations
  We consider active scalar equations $\partial_t \theta + \nabla \cdot (u \, \theta) = 0$, where $u = T[\theta]$ is a divergence-free velocity field, and $T$ is a Fourier multiplier operator with symbol $m$. We prove that when $m$ is not an odd function of frequency, there are nontrivial, compactly supported solutions weak solutions, with H\"older regularity $C^{1/9-}_{t,x}$. In fact, every integral conserving scalar field can be approximated in ${\cal D}'$ by such solutions, and these weak solutions may be obtained from arbitrary initial data. We also show that when the multiplier $m$ is odd, weak limits of solutions are solutions, so that the $h$-principle for odd active scalars may not be expected.
