Abstract: We show that the boundary of a rotating vortex patch (or V-state, in the terminology of Deem and Zabusky) is of class C^infinity provided the patch is close enough to the bifurcation circle in the Lipschitz norm. The rotating patch is convex if it is close enough to the bifurcation circle in the C^2 norm. Our proof is based on Burbea's approach to V-states. Thus conformal mapping plays a relevant role as well as estimating, on H"older spaces, certain non-convolution singular integral operators of Calder'on-Zygmund type.


It is shown that the boundary of a rotating vortex patch (or V-state, in the terminology of Deem and Zabusky) is \(C^{\infty}\), provided the patch is close to the bifurcation circle in the Lipschitz norm. The proof uses conformal mappings to parametrize V-states; the V are the set of functions in the unit ball of \(C^{1+\alpha}(\mathcal{T})\) The rotating patch is also convex if it is close to the bifurcation circle in the \(C^2\) norm.The proof is based on \textit{J. Burbea}'s [Lett. Math. Phys. 6, 1--16 (1982; Zbl 0484.76031)] approach to V-states.
