Abstract: Consider an inextensible closed filament immersed in a 2D Stokes fluid. Given a force density $mathbfF$ defined on this filament, we consider the problem of determining the tension $sigma$ on this filament that ensures the filament is inextensible. This is a subproblem of dynamic inextensible vesicle and membrane problems, which appear in engineering and biological applications. We study the well-posedness and regularity properties of this problem in H"older spaces. We find that the tension determination problem admits a unique solution if and only if the closed filament is {em not} a circle. Furthermore, we show that the tension $sigma$ gains one derivative with respect to the imposed line force density $mathbfF$, and show that the tangential and normal components of $mathbfF$ affect the regularity of $sigma$ in different ways. We also study the near singularity of the tension determination problem as the interface approaches a circle, and verify our analytical results against numerical experiment.
