1 EULER-ARNOLD EQUATIONS AND TEICHMÜLLER THEORY STEPHEN C. PRESTON AND PEARCE WASHABAUGH Abstract. In this paper we prove that all initially-smooth solutions of the Euler-Weil-Petersson equation, which describes geodesics on the universal Teichmüller space under the Weil-Petersson metric, will remain smooth for all time. This extends the work of Escher-Kolev for strong Riemannian metrics to the borderline case of H 3/2 metrics. In addition we show that all initially-smooth solutions of the Wunsch equation, a variation of the Constantin-Lax-Majda equation which also describes geodesics on the universal Teichmüller curve under the Velling-Kirillov metric, must blow up in finite time due to wave breaking, extending work of Castro-Córdoba and Bauer-Kolev-Preston. Finally we illustrate these phenomena numerically. Contents. Introduction 2.

Introduction Euler-Arnold equations are PDEs that describe the evolution of a velocity field for which the Lagrangian flow is a geodesic in a group of smooth diffeomorphisms of a manifold, for some choice of right-invariant Riemannian metric; see Arnold-Khesin []. In the one-dimensional case, we will consider the diffeomorphism group of the circle S = R/2πZ. If the Riemannian metric is defined at the identity by () u, u r = uλ 2r u dθ, S where Λ 2r is a symmetric, positive pseudodifferential operator of order r, we call it a Sobolev H r metric, and the Euler-Arnold equation is given by (2) m t + um θ + 2mu θ =, m = Λ 2r u, u = u(t, θ), u() = u C (S ). Special cases include the Camassa-Holm equation when r = and Λ 2 = θ 2, or the right-invariant Burgers equation when r = and Λ = [4]. One can also allow Λ 2r to be degenerate (nonnegative Date: September, Mathematics Subject Classification. 35Q35, 53D25. Key words and phrases.

2 2 S. C. PRESTON AND P. WASHABAUGH rather than positive); the best known example is when r = and Λ 2 = θ 2, for which we get the Hunter-Saxton equation [2]. Here we are interested in the fractional order cases r = 2 and r = 3 2 (see Escher-Kolev [7]), which arise naturally in Teichmüller theory []. Both cases are critical in some sense, due to the Sobolev embedding being critical: for r < 2 Lagrangian trajectories do not depend smoothly on initial conditions, while for r > 3 2 conservation of energy is strong enough to ensure global existence [8]. In this paper we will show that all solutions for r = 2 blow up in finite time while for r = 3 2 all smooth solutions exist globally; previously only some solutions were known to blow up in the r = 2 case [2] and smooth solutions were only known to stay in H3/2 in the r = 3 2 case []. Specifically the cases we are interested in are (r = 2 ) the Wunsch equation [22],[2]: Λ = Hu θ, and (r = 3 2 ) the Euler-Weil-Petersson equation []: Λ3 = H(u θθθ + u θ ), where H is the Hilbert transform defined for periodic functions by H(e inθ ) = i sign ne inθ. The Wunsch equation is a special case of the modified Constantin-Lax-Majda equation [6] which models vorticity growth in an ideal fluid. When paired with the flow equation η (3) t (t, θ) = u( t, η(t, θ) ), η(, θ) = θ, the Euler-Arnold equation (2) describes geodesics η(t) of the right-invariant Riemannian metric defined at the identity element by () on the homogeneous space Diff(S )/G. Here G is the group generated by the subalgebra ker Λ of length-zero directions: for the Euler-Weil-Petersson equation we have G = PSL 2 (R), and for the Wunsch equation we have G = Rot(S ) = S. The local existence result is that if u H s (S )/g for s > 3 2 (where g is the Lie algebra of G), then there is a unique solution u C([, T ), H s (S )/g) for some T > (which may be infinite). In our context this is a consequence of the fact that the geodesic equation is smooth, so that there is a unique solution η C ([, T ), Diff s (S )/G) with η() = id and η() = u. Loss of smoothness of u in time occurs due to the fact that composition required to get u = η η is not smooth. This approach to the Euler equations was originally due to Ebin-Marsden [6]; for the Wunsch equation it was proved by Escher-Kolev-Wunsch [9], while for the Euler-Weil-Petersson equation it was proved by Escher-Kolev [7]. Castro-Córdoba [3] showed that if u is initially odd, then solutions to the Wunsch equation blow up in finite time; the authors of [2] extended this result to some data without odd symmetry. For the Euler-Weil-Petersson equation, it was not known whether initially smooth data would remain smooth for all time. However Gay-Balmaz and Ratiu [] interpreted the equation in H 3/2 as a strong Riemannian metric on a certain manifold and concluded that the velocity field u remains in H 3/2 (S ) for all time. We strengthen this to obtain a uniform C bound, which then by bootstrapping gives uniform bounds on all higher Sobolev norms and thus smoothness. The main theorems of this paper settle the global existence question for the degenerate Ḣr metrics corresponding to r = 2 (the Wunsch equation) and r = 3 2 (the Euler-Weil-Petersson equation). Theorem. Suppose s > 3 2 and u is an H s velocity field on S with mean zero (i.e., u H s (S )/R). Then the solution u(t) of the Wunsch equation with u() = u blows up in finite time. Theorem 2. Suppose s > 3 2 and u is an H s velocity field on S, and that the Fourier series of u has vanishing n =, n =, and n = component; i.e., u H s (S )/sl 2 (R). Then the solution u(t) of the Euler-Weil-Petersson equation with u() = u remains in H s for all time. In particular if u is C then so is u(t) for all t >. Additionally, Theorem almost immediately gives us that every mean zero solution of the Constantin-Lax-Majda equation [5] blows up in finite time. Overall, these two Theorems mean
3 EULER-ARNOLD EQUATIONS AND TEICHMÜLLER THEORY 3 that the case r = 3 2 behaves the same as the cases for r > 3 2, while the case r = 2 behaves the same as for r = (since all solutions of the Hunter-Saxton equation blow up in finite time [4]). We may conjecture that there is a critical value r such that for r > r all smooth mean-zero solutions remain smooth for all time, while for r < r all smooth mean-zero solutions blow up in finite time. Our guess is that r = 3 2, but the current method does not prove this; furthermore we do not know what happens with geodesics for 2 < r < or < r < 3 2 even in the degenerate case. Both equations arise naturally in the study of universal Teichmüller spaces. The Euler-Weil- Petersson equation was derived in [] as the Euler-Arnold equation arising from the Weil-Petersson metric on the universal Teichmüller space. This geometry has been studied extensively by Takhtajan- Teo [8]; in particular they constructed the Hilbert manifold structure that makes Weil-Petersson a strong Hilbert metric (thus ensuring that geodesics exist globally). The Weil-Petersson geometry is well-known: the sectional curvature is strictly negative, and it is a Kähler manifold with almost complex structure given by the Hilbert transform. See Tromba [2] and Yamada [23] for further background on the Weil-Petersson metric on the universal Teichmüller space. The Wunsch equation arises from the Riemannian metric u, u = S uhu θ dx, which is called the Velling-Kirillov metric and was proposed as a metric on the universal Teichmüller curve by Teo [9][2]. The Velling-Kirillov geometry was originally studied by Kirillov-Yur ev [3]; although the sectional curvature is believed to be always positive, this is not yet proved. Furthermore the geometries are related in the sense that integrating the square of the symplectic form for the W-P geometry gives the symplectic form for the V-K geometry. Yet the properties of these geometries seem to be opposite in virtually every way: from Fredholmness of the exponential map [5][2] to the sectional curvature to the global properties of geodesics mentioned above.

Proof of the Main Theorems 2.. Rewriting the Equations and Proof of Theorem. Let us first sketch the blowup argument for the Wunsch equation from [2], which extended the argument of Castro-Cŕdoba [3]. The Wunsch equation is given for mean-zero vector fields u on S (identified with functions) by the formula (4) ω t + uω θ + 2u θ ω =, ω = Hu θ. In terms of the Lagrangian flow η given by (3), we may rewrite this as which leads to the conservation law t ω ( t, η(t, θ) ) + 2η tθ (t, θ)ω ( t, η(t, θ) ) /η θ (t, θ) = η θ (t, θ) 2 ω ( t, η(t, θ) ) = ω (θ). Applying the Hilbert transform to both sides of (4) and using the following Hilbert transform identities (valid for mean-zero functions f): (5) H(Hf) = f and 2H(fHf) = (Hf) 2 f 2, one obtains [2] an equation for u θ = Hω: (6) u tθ + uu θθ + u 2 θ = F + ω2 where the function F is a spatially nonlocal force given for each fixed time t by (7) F = uu θθ H(uHu θθ ).
4 4 S. C. PRESTON AND P. WASHABAUGH In Lagrangian form, using the conservation law equation (6) becomes η ttθ (t, θ) = ω (θ) 2 η θ (t, θ) 3 F ( t, η(t, θ) ) η θ (t, θ). It follows that if there is a point θ such that u (θ ) < and ω (θ ) =, then we will have η θ (, θ ) =, η tθ (, θ ) <, and η ttθ (t, θ ) < for all t, so that η θ (t, θ ) must reach zero in finite time (which leads to u θ ). Our proof that all solutions blow up consists of showing that this condition happens for every initial condition u with ω = Hu. Proof of Theorem. From the discussion above, the proof reduces to proving the following statement. Suppose f : S R is a smooth function with mean zero, and let g = Hf. Then there is a point θ S with f (θ ) < and g (θ ) =. Let p be the unique harmonic function in the unit disc D such that p S = f, and let q be its harmonic conjugate normalized so that q S = g. Then in polar coordinates we have the Cauchy- Riemann equations (8) rp r (r, θ) = q θ (r, θ) and rq r (r, θ) = p θ (r, θ), and we have p(, θ) = f(θ) and q(, θ) = g(θ). Since q is harmonic, its maximum value within D occurs on the boundary S at some point θ. The maximum of g occurs at the same point, so that g (θ ) =. By the Hopf lemma, we have q r (, θ ) >, so equations (8) imply that f (θ ) = p θ (, θ ) <. Remark 3. This argument also works when the domain is R and the functions have suitable decay conditions imposed. It can thus be applied to demonstrate that every mean zero solution of the Constantin-Lax-Majda equation [5] ω t v x ω =, v x = Hω blows up in finite time, using the same argument as in that paper via the explicit solution formula. Now let us rewrite the Euler-Weil-Petersson equation to obtain the analogue of formula (6). Recall from the introduction that it is given explicitly by (9) ω t + uω θ + 2u θ ω =, ω = Hu θθθ Hu θ. Proposition 4. The Euler-Weil-Petersson equation (9) is equivalent to the equation () u tθ = H(uHu θθ ) + H( + 2 θ ) [ 2u θ Hu θ u θθ Hu θθ ], In terms of the Lagrangian flow (3), equation () takes the form () t u θ(t, η(t, θ)) = F (t, η(t, θ)) + G(t, η(t, θ)) where F is defined by formula (7) and G is given by (2) G = H( + 2 θ ) [2u θ Hu θ u θθ Hu θθ ]. Here the operator ( + θ 2 ) is restricted to the orthogonal complement of the span of {, sin θ, cos θ} so as to be invertible. Proof. Equation (9) may be written H( + 2 θ )u tθ = ( + 2 θ )(uhu θθ) u θθ Hu θθ + 2u θ Hu θ, using the product rule. We now solve for u tθ by applying H to both sides and inverting ( + 2 θ ). To do this, we just need to check that the term (2u θ Hu θ u θθ Hu θθ ) is orthogonal to the subspace spanned by {, sin θ, cos θ}. In fact this is true for every function fhf when f is 2π-periodic with mean zero, since the formulas (5) imply both that fhf has mean zero and that it has period π.
5 EULER-ARNOLD EQUATIONS AND TEICHMÜLLER THEORY 5 The only additional thing happening in equation () is the chain rule formula t u θ (t, η(t, θ)) = u tθ (t, η(t, θ)) + u θθ (t, η(t, θ))η t (t, θ) = (u tθ + uu θθ )(t, η(t, θ)). To prove Theorem 2, we want to show that u θ L remains bounded for all time, and by formula () it is sufficient to bound both F L and G L. We will do this in the next Section The Bounds on F and G. In [2], it was shown that the function F given by (7) is positive for any mean-zero function u: S R. This is essential for proving blowup for the Wunsch equation. Theorem 5 (Bauer-Kolev-Preston). Let u: S R be a function with Fourier series u(θ) = n Z c ne inθ with c =. If Λ = H θ so that Λ(e inθ ) = n e inθ, and if g p = H(uHΛ p u) + uλ p u for a positive number p, then for every θ S we have (3) g p (θ) = 2 [k p (k ) p ] φ k (x) 2, where φ k (θ) = k= c m e imθ In particular F = uu H(uHu ) is positive at every point if u is not constant. Another perspective on the positivity of F is discussed in Silvestre-Vicol [7]. There, while studying a slightly different version of the generalized Constantin-Lax-Majda equation over R, they demonstrated that F can also be represented as (4) F (t, ) = u(x) u() x 2 Ḣ /2 (R) This insight into the structure of F helps explain the positivity result of the previous Theorem. We would now like to bound F in terms of u 2 := Ḣ 3/2 S (Hu)(u + u ) dθ. It is possible to do so using results similar to formula (4) on the circle, however the simplest proof uses the Fourier series formula (3) directly. Theorem 6. Let u : S R be a smooth function with Fourier coefficients c n such that c = c = c =, and let F = uu H(uHu ). Then for every θ S, we have F (θ) C u 2 Ḣ 3/2, where u 2 Ḣ 3/2 (S ) = S (Hu)(u + u ) dθ and C is a constant independent of u. Proof. By equation (3) and the Cauchy-Schwarz inequality we have 2 F (θ) = (2n ) c m (2n ) m(m ) c m 2 2n n m=n m 2 c m 2 2 m=n m= m=n m m 2 c m 2 2, m=k m=n m 3 c m 2. m= m(m ) Note that G given by (2) consists of two similar terms, and the following Theorem takes care of both at the same time as a consequence of Hilbert s double series inequality. Theorem 7. Suppose f : S R is a smooth function and that g = H( + 2 θ ) (f Hf ). Then g L 4π f 2 Ḣ /2.
6 6 S. C. PRESTON AND P. WASHABAUGH Proof. Expand f in a Fourier series as f(θ) = n Z f ne inθ, and let h = f Hf. Then we have f Hf (θ) = i ( ) n (k n)f k n f n e ikθ = i h k e ikθ, k Z m,n Z mnf m f n (sign n)e i(m+n)θ = i k Z n Z where h k = n (k n)f k n f n. n Z Now let us simplify h k : we have for k > that h k = n(k n)f n f k n + n(k + n)f n f k+n k = n(k n)f n f k n + (k + m)( m)f k+m f m + n(k + n)f n f k+n, m= where we used the substitution m = n k. Clearly the middle term cancels the last term, so k h k = n(k n)f n f k n. It is easy to see that h = due to cancellations, while if k <, we get k h k = n( k n)f n f k n = h k. Note in particular that h = h =. We thus obtain f Hf ( (θ) = ihk e ikθ ih k e ikθ), so that H(f Hf )(θ) = k=2 ( ) h k e ikθ + h k e ikθ = 2Re h k e ikθ. k=2 It now makes sense to apply ( + θ 2) to this function, and we obtain ( ) h k g(θ) = 2Re k 2 eikθ, so that g L 2 = 2 k k=2 m= k=2 n(k n) f n f k n k 2 = 2 nm f n f m (n + m) 2 4 m= ( ) 4π n f n 2 = 4 f 2 Ḣ /2 (S ), k=n+ k=2 nm fn f m n + m n(k n) f n f k n k 2 where the inequality in the last line is precisely the well-known Hilbert double series theorem ([], Section 9.). Applying this Theorem to the terms in (2), we obtain the following straightforward Corollary which takes care of the second term in the equation () for u θ in the Euler-Weil-Petersson equation.
7 EULER-ARNOLD EQUATIONS AND TEICHMÜLLER THEORY 7 Corollary 8. Suppose u is vector field on S, and let G = H( + 2 θ ) [2u θ Hu θ u θθ Hu θθ ] as in (2). Then we have G L 8π u 2 Ḣ /2 (S ) + 4π u 2 Ḣ 3/2 (S ), in terms of the degenerate seminorm u 2 Ḣ 3/2 (S ) = S (Hu)(u + u ) dθ Proof of Theorem 2. The work of Escher and Kolev shows that solutions of (9) are global as long as we can control the C norm u C (S ). This follows from the no-loss/no-gain Lemma 4. of [7] and the general estimate for Sobolev H q norms in terms of C norms from Theorem 5. of [8]. Theorem 9 (Escher-Kolev). Let u be a smooth solution of (9) on a maximal time interval [, T ). If there is a constant C such that θ u(t, θ) L (S ) C(+t) for all t [, T ), then in fact T =. Hence all we need to do is obtain a uniform bound for the C norm of u. Since the Ḣ3/2 seminorm of a solution of (9) is constant by energy conservation, it is sufficient to bound the C norm in terms of the Ḣ3/2 seminorm. Note that the H 3/2 (S ) norm does not in general control the C (S ) norm of an arbitrary function f on S ; we need to use the special structure of the equation (9) to get this. Proof of Theorem 2. Proposition 4 shows that d dt u θ L F L + G L. Using Theorem 6, we obtain F L CE where E = u 2 Ḣ3/2, which is constant in time since u is an Euler-Arnold equation. Similarly Corollary 8 yields G L C u θ 2 + CE Ḣ. Since /2 u is always chosen as the representative of the equivalence class that has c = c = (i.e., its Fourier coefficients are only nonzero for n 2), we can easily bound both of these lower-order terms above by some constant multiple of E. It follows that d dt u θ L CE, so that θ u(t) L θ u L + CE t, which shows that u θ cannot approach infinity in finite time. This proves that the solution of the EWP equation (9) remains in any H s space that u begins in for any s > 3 2, using Theorem 9 and the no-loss/no-gain Lemma 4. of [7]. 3. Numerical Simulations In this section we show the results of numerical simulations solving the Wunsch and Euler-Weil- Petersson equations. 3.. Solutions to EWP and Wunsch. Here we implemented a Fourier-Galerkin method to get a system of ODES, coupled with a 4th order Runge-Kutta method to solve each ODE that arises. The following is a collection of solutions for the EWP and Wunsch equations with initial condition u (x) = sin(2x). For each equation we have t = and t fin =.5.
