Conjecture on exceptional Gaussian measures for Euler-flow non-invariance

About 3 years old · traced to

Let Mσ\mathcal{M}^{\sigma} denote the class of Gaussian measures considered in the paper, parametrized by sequences (an)n∈Z2(a_n)_{n\in\mathbb{Z}^2}, and let quasi-invariance mean quasi-invariance in the sense of the paper's stated assumption under the two-dimensional Euler-vorticity flow. The exceptional sequences are those supported in a line of Z2\mathbb{Z}^2 through the origin or on a circle centered at the origin.

Exceptional-support conjecture. Part (i) of the theorem on invariant measures already contains essentially all counterexamples to non-invariance: for bc=μ(an)∈Mσbc=\mu_{(a_n)}\in\mathcal{M}^{\sigma}, with c3>0c3>0 (or possibly c3>−1c3>-1 if a suitable local well-posedness theory can be established), bcbc is quasi-invariant under the Euler flow if and only if (an)n∈Z2(a_n)_{n\in\mathbb{Z}^2} is supported in a line through the origin or on a circle centered at the origin.

This conjecture identifies the geometrically exceptional Fourier supports as the only source of quasi-invariant Gaussian measures in this setting. The paper's results establish non-invariance outside the stated exceptional configurations, while the asserted classification beyond the proved examples remains conjectural.
