Pointed vortex loops in ideal 2D fluids
Abstract
We study a special kind of singular vorticities in ideal 2D fluids that combine features of point vortices and vortex sheets, namely pointed vortex loops. We focus on the coadjoint orbits of the area-preserving diffeomorphism group of ${\mathbb R}^2$ determined by them. We show that a polarization subgroup consists of diffeomorphisms that preserve the loop as a set, thus the configuration space is the space of loops that enclose a fixed area, without information on vorticity distribution and attached points.
