Abstract: We consider a steady state v0 of the Euler equation in a fixed bounded domain in mathbfRn. Suppose the linearized Euler equation has an exponential dichotomy of unstable and center-stable subspaces. By rewriting the Euler equation as an ODE on an infinite dimensional manifold of volume preserving maps in Wk,q, (k>1+fracnq), the unstable (and stable) manifolds of v0 are constructed under certain spectral gap condition which is verified for both 2D and 3D examples. In particular, when the unstable subspace is finite dimensional, this implies the nonlinear instability of v0 in the sense that arbitrarily small Wk,q perturbations can lead to L2 growth of the nonlinear solutions.
