Hollow vortices and minimal surfaces

Abstract

We consider an overdetermined elliptic problem known as the hollow vortex problem. We prove that the solutions to this problem are in 1:1 correspondence with minimal graphs bounded by horizontal symmetry lines. We use this correspondence to give various examples of domains with hollow vortices.
