Abstract: We give a classification of generic coadjoint orbits for the groups of symplectomorphisms and Hamiltonian diffeomorphisms of a closed symplectic surface. We also classify simple Morse functions on symplectic surfaces with respect to actions of those groups. This gives an answer to V.Arnold's problem on describing all invariants of generic isovorticed fields for the 2D ideal fluids. For this we introduce a notion of anti-derivatives on a measured Reeb graph and describe their properties.

Review text

The paper is devoted to the classification of coadjoint orbits of the groups of symplectomorphisms and Hamiltonian diffeomorphisms of closed symplectic surfaces. For this purpose, the paper classifies the Morse functions on those surfaces and exhibits their invariants, which involve the Reeb graphs of functions. The paper answers a problem due to Arnold about the invariants of invorticed fields of the 2D ideal fluids.
