Abstract: We consider the 2-D incompressible Euler equations in a bounded domain and show that local weak solutions are exponentially integrable, uniformly in time, under minimal integrability conditions. This is a Serrin-type interior regularity result u in L_{ m loc}^{2+varepsilon}(Omega_T) implies { m regularity} for weak solutions in the energy space LtinftyLx2 satisfying appropriate vorticity estimates. The argument is completely local in nature as the result follows from the structural properties of the equation alone, while completely avoiding all sorts of boundary conditions and related gradient estimates. To the best of our knowledge, the approach we follow is new in the context of Euler equations and provides an alternative look at interior regularity issues. We also show how our method can be used to give a modified proof of the classical Serrin condition for the regularity of the Navier-Stokes equations in any dimension.


The goal of this work is to rule out non-physical weak solutions of the Euler system (see, e.g., [\textit{T. Buckmaster} et al., Ann. Math. (2) 182, No. 1, 127--172 (2015; Zbl 1330.35303)]) by imposing some interior regularity on local weak solutions. The authors develop an interior regularity method in the spirit of De Giorgi-Nash-Moser, and show that local weak solutions are exponentially integrable. This is a Serrin-type regularity result under the assumption \(u\in L^{2+\varepsilon}_{\text{loc}}\). They also improve integrability for the vorticity -- which is comparable with DiPerna-Lions assumptions. This method is also used to give a new version of the proof of the classical Serrin condition for the regularity of the Navier-Stokes equations.
