Remarks on stationary and uniformly-rotating vortex sheets: Rigidity results

Analysis of PDEs 2021-07-28 v1

Abstract

In this paper, we show that the only solution of the vortex sheet equation, either stationary or uniformly rotating with negative angular velocity Ω\Omega, such that it has positive vorticity and is concentrated in a finite disjoint union of smooth curves with finite length is the trivial one: constant vorticity amplitude supported on a union of nested, concentric circles. The proof follows a desingularization argument and a calculus of variations flavor.
