Knots and links in steady solutions of the Euler equation
Knots and links in steady solutions of the Euler equation
Given any possibly unbounded, locally finite link, we show that there exists a smooth diffeomorphism transforming this link into a set of stream (or vortex) lines of a vector field that solves the steady incompressible Euler equation in R 3 .Furthermore, the diffeomorphism can be chosen arbitrarily close to the …
