We describe the linear and nonlinear stability and instability of certain symmetric configurations of point vortices on the sphere forming relative equilibria. These configurations consist of one or two rings, and a ring with one or two…

The Birkhoff-Rott integral expresses the fluid velocity on a vortex sheet. This integral converges if certain quantities decay at horizontal infinity, but can also be summed over periodic images in the horizontally periodic case. However,…

For a wide class of linear Hamiltonian operators we develop a general criterion that characterizes the unstable eigenvalues as the zeros of a holomorphic function given by the determinant of a finite-dimensional matrix. We apply the latter…
