On the dynamics of point vortices for the 2D Euler equation with $L^p$ vorticity

Abstract

We study the evolution of solutions to the 2D Euler equations whose vorticity is sharply concentrated in the Wasserstein sense around a finite number of points. Under the assumption that the vorticity is merely $L^p$ integrable for some $p>2$, we show that the evolving vortex regions remain concentrated around points, and these points are close to solutions to the Helmholtz--Kirchhoff point vortex system.
