Abstract

We are motivated by the study of the Microcanonical Variational Principle within Onsager’s description of two-dimensional turbulence in the range of energies where the equivalence of statistical ensembles fails. We obtain sufficient conditions for the existence and multiplicity of solutions for the corresponding Mean Field Equation on convex and “thin” enough domains in the supercritical (with respect to the Moser–Trudinger inequality) regime. This is a brand new achievement since existence results in the supercritical region were previously known only on multiply connected domains. We then study the structure of these solutions by the analysis of their linearized problems and we also obtain a new uniqueness result for solutions of the Mean Field Equation on thin domains whose energy is uniformly bounded from above. Finally we evaluate the asymptotic expansion of those solutions with respect to the thinning parameter and, combining it with all the results obtained so far, we solve the Microcanonical Variational Principle in a small range of supercritical energies where the entropy is shown to be concave.
