Hamel–Nadirashvili's rigidity conjecture for steady Euler flows in a punctured disk

About 3 years old · traced to

Let DD be an open disk centered at the origin. Let z∈Dz\in D and let v∈C2(D‾\z)\mathbf{v}\in C^2(\overline{D}\backslash \\{z\\}) be a bounded flow solving the Euler equations on D\zD\backslash\\{z\\} and satisfying v⋅n=0\mathbf{v}\cdot \mathbf{n}=0 on ∂D\partial D, where n\mathbf{n} denotes the outward unit normal on ∂D\partial D. Assume that ∣v∣>0|\mathbf{v}|>0 in D‾\z\overline{D}\backslash\\{z\\}. Hamel–Nadirashvili's rigidity conjecture. Then zz is the origin and v\mathbf{v} is a circular flow. This conjecture concerns whether steady Euler flows inherit the geometric symmetry of a disk. Related rigidity results are known for strips, half-planes, the whole plane, annuli, and several punctured or exterior domains, while this punctured-disk case remains open in the supplied source.
