The regularity of the boundary of vortex patches for some nonlinear transport equations

Juan Carlos Cantero, Joan Mateu, Joan Orobitg and Joan Verdera

Vol. 16 (2023), No. 7, 1621–1650
Abstract

We prove the persistence of boundary smoothness of vortex patches for a nonlinear transport equation in n with velocity field given by convolution of the density with an odd kernel, homogeneous of degree  (n 1) and of class C2(n {0}, n). This allows the velocity field to have nontrivial divergence. The quasigeostrophic equation in 3 and the Cauchy transport equation in the plane are examples.
