Abstract

In this paper, we prove global regularity for all smooth, axisymmetric, swirl-free solutions of the Euler equation in four dimensions. Previous works establishing global regularity for certain axisymmetric, swirl-free solutions of the Euler equation in four dimensions required the additional assumption that ω0r2L\frac{\omega^0}{r^2}\in L^\infty, which can fail even for Schwartz class initial data. The key advance is a new bound on the vortex stretching term that only requires ω0r2L2,1(R4)\frac{\omega^0}{r^2}\in L^{2,1}(\mathbb{R}^4), which is generically true for any axisymmetric, swirl-free initial data u0Hs(R4),s>4u^0\in H^s\left(\mathbb{R}^4\right), s>4, with reasonable decay at infinity.
