Radial time-average conjecture for the equal-vortex model
Let be a configuration of equal vortices, each of vorticity , and define the pre-shape set
For almost every , the time average of the empirical vorticity density exists in the weak-measure sense,
and is radial, meaning invariant under rotations. Equivalently, for every smooth observable and every , the time average of
exists and is independent of . The conjecture concerns the long-time distribution of vortices on the fixed center-of-mass and inertial-moment level set; establishing existence and rotational invariance of these averages remains open.
