Kinetic formulation for vortex vector fields

Talk by Prof. Dr. Radu Ignat

Speaker invited by: Prof. Dr. Camillo De Lellis

We will focus on vortex gradient fields of unit-length. The associated stream function solves the eikonal equation, more precisely it is the distance function to a point. We will prove a kinetic formulation characterizing such vector fields in any dimension.
