Abstract

For any 2<p<2<p<\infty we prove that there exists an initial velocity field vL2v^\circ\in L^2 with vorticity ωL1Lp\omega^\circ\in L^1\cap L^p for which there are infinitely many bounded admissible solutions vCtL2v\in C_tL^2 to the 2D Euler equation. This shows sharpness of the weak-strong uniqueness principle, as well as sharpness of Yudovich's proof of uniqueness in the class of bounded admissible solutions. The initial data are truncated power-law vortices. The construction is based on finding a suitable self-similar subsolution and then applying the convex integration method. In addition, we extend it for 1<p<1<p<\infty and show that the energy dissipation rate of the subsolution vanishes at t=0t=0 if and only if p3/2p\geq 3/2, which is the Onsager critical exponent in terms of LpL^p control on vorticity in 2D.
