A theorem on measures in dimension 2 and applications to vortex sheets (Q2512392)

There are several reasons to study a question whether spirals of vorticity are locally in \(H^{-1}(\mathbb R^2)\). The authors of the paper under review find conditions under which measures supported on the spiral of vorticity belong to \(H^{-1}(\mathbb R^2)\). They show that measures generated by the Prandtl, Kaden as well as Pullin spirals, objects considered by physicists as incompressible flows generating vorticity, satisfy assumptions of their theorem, thus they are (locally) elements of \(H^{-1}(\mathbb R^2)\). Moreover, as a by-product, they prove an embedding of the space of Morrey type measures in \(H^{-1}(\mathbb R^n)\). The obtained results are applied to spirals of vorticity.
