The Gibbs ensemble of a vortex filament

Abstract

We introduce a statistical ensemble for a single vortex filament of a three dimensional incompressible fluid. The core of the vortex is modelled by a quite generic stochastic process. We prove the existence of the partition function for both positive and a limited range of negative temperatures.
