Well-posedness and large deviations for 2D stochastic Navier--Stokes equations with jumps.

The aim of this paper is threefold. Firstly, we prove the existence and uniqueness of a global strong (in both the probabilistic and the PDE senses) H¹₂-valued solution to the 2D stochastic Navier--Stokes equations (SNSEs) driven by a multiplicative Lévy noise under the natural Lipschitz condition on balls and linear growth assumptions on the jump coefficient. Secondly, we prove a Girsanov-type theorem for Poisson random measures and apply this result to a study of the wellposedness of the corresponding stochastic controlled problem for these SNSEs. Thirdly, we apply these results to establish a Freidlin--Wentzell-type large deviation principle for the solutions of these SNSEs by employing the weak convergence method introduced by Budhiraja et al. (2011, 2013). [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]
