Abstract

In this work we investigate the helicity regularity for weak solutions of the incompressible Euler equations. To prove regularity and conservation of the helicity we will threat the velocity uu and its curlucurl\, u as two independent functions and we mainly show that the helicity is a constant of motion assuming uLt2r(Cxθ)u \in L^{2r}_t(C^\theta_x) and curluLtκ(Wxα,1)curl \,u \in L^{\kappa}_t(W^{\alpha,1}_x) where r,κr,\kappa are conjugate H\"older exponents and 2θ+α12\theta+\alpha \geq 1. Using the same techniques we also show that the helicity has a suitable H\"older regularity even in the range where it is not necessarily constant.
