Non-conservation of a generalized helicity in the Euler equations

preprint2026arXivOpen access

Abstract

For a Ct,x1C^1_{t,x} solution uu to the incompressible 3D Euler equations, the helicity H(u(t))=∫T3u⋅curl uH(u(t))=\int_{\mathbb{T}^3} u \cdot \textrm{curl}\, u is constant in time. For general low-regularity weak solutions, it is not always clear how to define the helicity, or whether it must be constant in time in the case that there is a clear definition. In this paper, we define a generalized helicity which extends the classical definitions and construct weak solutions of Euler of almost Onsager-critical regularity in L3L^3 with prescribed generalized helicity and kinetic energy.
