Abstract: In this note, we consider the radial symmetry property of rotating vortex patches for the 2D incompressible Euler equations in the unit disc. By choosing a suitable vector field to deform the patch, we show that each simply-connected rotating vortex patch D with angular velocity Omega, Omegageqmax1/2,(2l2)/(1l2)2 or Omegaleq(2l2)/(1l2)2, where l=supxinD|x|, must be a disc. The main idea of the proof, which has a variational flavor, comes from a very recent paper of G'omez-Serrano--Park--Shi--Yao, arXiv:1908.01722, where radial symmetry of rotating vortex patches in the whole plane was studied.
