Ill-posedness for the incompressible Euler equations in critical Sobolev spaces

Analysis of PDEs 2016-12-09 v2

Abstract

For the 2D2D Euler equation in vorticity formulation, we construct localized smooth solutions whose critical Sobolev norms become large in a short period of time, and solutions which initially belong to LH1L^\infty \cap H^1 but escapes H1H^1 immediately for t>0t>0. Our main observation is that a localized chunk of vorticity bounded in LH1L^\infty \cap H^1 with odd-odd symmetry is able to generate a hyperbolic flow with large velocity gradient at least for a short period of time, which stretches the vorticity gradient.
