Control and Stabilization of the Benjamin-Ono equation in $L^2(\mathbb{T})$

We prove the control and stabilization of the Benjamin-Ono equation in $L^2(\text{T})$, the lowest regularity where the initial value problem is well-posed. This problem was already initiated in \cite{LinaresRosierBO} where a stronger stabilization term was used (that makes the equation of parabolic type in the control zone). Here we employ a more natural stabilization term related to the $L^2$ norm. Moreover, by proving a theorem of controllability in $L^2$, we manage to prove the global controllability in large time. Our analysis relies strongly on the bilinear estimates proved in \cite{MolinetPilodBO} and some new extension of these estimates established here.
