Circularity conjecture for bounded Euler flows in a disk

At least 6 years old · documented by

Let DD be an open non-empty disk and let z∈Dz\in D. Let vv be a C2(D‾ ⁣∖ ⁣{z})C^2(\overline{D}\!\setminus\!\{z\}) and bounded flow solving the Euler equations and satisfying v⋅n=0v\cdot n=0 on ∂D\partial D, where nn denotes the outward unit normal on ∂D\partial D. Assume that ∣v∣>0|v|>0 in D‾ ⁣∖ ⁣{z}\overline{D}\!\setminus\!\{z\}. Circularity conjecture. Then zz is the center of the disk and the flow is circular with respect to zz. This conjecture concerns rigidity of stationary Euler flows in annular domains: under the stated regularity, boundary, boundedness, and non-vanishing assumptions, it predicts that the possible flow must be circular and centered at the puncture. The supplied text gives no evidence of resolution.
