Šverák's conjecture on non-precompact vorticity orbits

Let MR2M\subset\mathbb{R}^2 be a bounded planar domain, let ω0L(M)\omega_0\in L^{\infty}(M) be initial vorticity, and let {ω(t)}tR\{\omega(t)\}_{t\in\mathbb{R}} be its inviscid incompressible Euler orbit. Šverák's conjecture. Generic initial data give rise to motions whose vorticity orbits are not precompact in L2(M)L^2(M). The precise meaning of genericity is left open in the source; the conjecture formalizes the creation of small scales or mixing at infinite time.
