Non-uniqueness conjecture for 2D Euler solutions with LpL^p vorticity

Let 2<p<2<p<\infty. Consider the two-dimensional Euler equation with initial velocity vL2v^\circ\in L^2 and initial vorticity ωL1Lp\omega^\circ\in L^1\cap L^p. A weak solution has velocity vCtL2v\in C_t L^2 and vorticity ωLt(L1Lp)\omega\in L_t^\infty(L^1\cap L^p). Non-uniqueness conjecture. For every 2<p<2<p<\infty, there exists an initial velocity vL2v^\circ\in L^2 with ωL1Lp\omega^\circ\in L^1\cap L^p such that more than one weak solution vCtL2v\in C_t L^2 with ωLt(L1Lp)\omega\in L_t^\infty(L^1\cap L^p) exists for the Euler equation. Global existence for the two-dimensional Euler equation has been proved in other vorticity classes, but uniqueness in this class is not expected from the available regularity theory and remains open.
