Abstract:Assume that for the 3D incompressible Euler equation, the initial vorticity is concentrated in an $\epsilon$-tube around a smooth curve in $\mathbb R^3$. The Vortex Filament Conjecture suggests that one can construct solutions in which the vorticity remains concentrated around a filament that evolves according to the binormal curvature flow, for a significant amount of time. In this talk, I will discuss recent developments on the vortex filament conjecture.
