Uniqueness of Positive Vorticity Solutions to the 2D Euler Equations on Singular Domains

We show that particle trajectories for positive vorticity solutions to the 2D Euler equations on fairly general bounded simply connected domains cannot reach the boundary in finite time. This includes domains with possibly nowhere $C^1$ boundaries and having corners with arbitrary angles, and can fail without the sign hypothesis when the domain has large angle corners. Hence positive vorticity solutions on such domains are Lagrangian, and we also obtain their uniqueness if the vorticity is initially constant near the boundary.
