Induces Otto metric
Open problem: higher order versions
Energy functional
Lagrangian on TDiff(M)
Extra terms from Taylor expansion → higher order metrics
H1 metric

Inertia tensor
potential energy
Difference to EPDiff
ai:R>0→R≥0 and either
(However, nice convexity properties a la Brenier-Benamou)
Example
Counter example
Theorem
M compact + assumption + s>d/2+2k
⇒ local well-posedness for geodesics on Sobolev completion Diffs(M)
Corollary
Potential V:Ps−1→R such that δV/δρ (non-linear) differential operator of order 2k−2
⇒ local well-posedness on Diffs(M)
necessary
But for semi-invariant metrics ϵ depends on ρ
Wave-breaking is expected to happen in shallow water models
Theorem
M compact, k>d/2+1, a0>C1>0, and ak>C2>0.
Then:
Proof: G uniformly stronger than a strong right-invariant metric
Theorem
F a Diffμ-equivariant vector field on TDiff(M) that extends to a smooth vector field on TDiffs(M) for all s>s0.
If (φ0,v0)∈TDiffs+1(M) then Js+1(φ0,v0)=Js(φ0,v0).
s→∞ gives result on Fréchet Lie group Diff(M)
Proof: Read Ebin & Marsden [1970] carefully
