Circularity conjecture for bounded Euler flows in a disk
Circularity conjecture for bounded Euler flows in a disk
Let be an open non-empty disk and let . Let be a and bounded flow solving the Euler equations and satisfying on , where denotes the outward unit normal on . Assume that in . Circularity conjecture. Then is the center of the disk and the flow is circular with respect to . 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.
