Title:
On stable solutions to the Euler equations in convex planar domains

Speaker:
Bian Wu

Abstract:
In convex planar domains, given an initial vorticity with one sign, I will talk about the regularity and geometric properties of the dynamically stable solutions to the Euler equations in the coadjoint orbit of the initial vorticity. These flows have elliptic stagnation points. Under some nondegeneracy conditions on the data, we show they are Holder continuous and have convex level curves. We also give a detailed description for the set of stagnation points. If the initial vorticity has nice level set topology, these stable solutions are in the L^\infty-strong closure of the coadjoint orbit. We also demonstrate the sharpness of most assumptions we made.
