Dean-Kawasaki Equation with Biot-Savart and Keller-Segel Interactions: Existence and Large Deviations

We establish the existence of probabilistically weak, renormalized kinetic solutions to the Dean–Kawasaki equation with singular interaction kernels, including those of Biot–Savart and Keller–Segel type. Under a suitable regularization of the square-root noise coefficient, we further prove a restricted large deviation principle for probabilistically weak solutions to the regularized Dean–Kawasaki equation. The Biot–Savart and Keller–Segel type interactions introduce a scaling criticality within the $L^1$ framework of the Dean–Kawasaki equation and the associated skeleton equation, which gives rise to a significant new challenge. In contrast to [Fehrman, Gess; Invent. Math., 2023], our large deviation analysis relies on a novel exponential tightness argument specifically adapted to the Dean–Kawasaki noise. This approach, combined with a weak-strong uniqueness result for the associated skeleton equation, allows us to partially overcome the criticality induced by the singular interaction kernel.
