Abstract

Using the H1H^{-1} norm as a measure of mixing, we prove that 2d Euler flows on the torus mix passive scalars at most exponentially. The mixing rate is bounded linearly by the BMO norm of the vorticity (and thus by its LL^\infty norm). We also give an analogous bound on the growth rate of scalar gradients.
