Abstract

We prove that several evolution equations arising as mathematical models for fluid motion cannot be realized as metric Euler equations on the Lie group DIFF ( 1) of all smooth and orientation-preserving diffeomorphisms on the circle. These include the quasi-geostrophic model equation, cf. [A. Córdoba, D. Córdoba and M. A. Fontelos, Formation of singularities for a transport equation with nonlocal velocity, Ann. of Math. 162 (2005) 13771389], the axisymmetric Euler flow in d (see [H. Okamoto and J. Zhu, Some similarity solutions of the NavierStokes equations and related topics, Taiwanese J. Math. 4 (2000) 65103]), and De Gregorio's vorticity model equation as introduced in [S. De Gregorio, On a one-dimensional model for the three-dimensional vorticity equation, J. Stat. Phys. 59 (1990) 12511263].
