Uniformly rotating analytic global patch solutions for active scalars

Abstract

We show that there exists a family of analytic convex global rotating solutions for the vortex patch equations, bifurcating from ellipses. As a byproduct, the analyticity proof can also be adapted to the rotating patch solutions bifurcating from disks (also known as V-states) for both the Euler and the generalized surface quasi-geostrophic equation.
