Compactness of the rescaled potential vorticities at the moving axis points #
The compactness step eq:aniso:zoom:finite:compactness of Step 2 of the proof of
prop:aniso:small, at the moving axis points (0, z_n) of eq:aniso:zoom:finite:variables.
Off the axis the rescaled potential vorticity is Ω_n = Θ_n / R, where Θ_n = λ_n² δ_n ω_θ is the
rescaled azimuthal vorticity of eq:aniso:zoom:receding:vorticity taken about the axis point
itself (no radial offset). On a compact subset of the open half-plane R is bounded below, so
the time-pairing estimate of Θ_n, obtained from eq:aniso:zoom:receding:equation with A = 0
exactly as in the receding-axis case, holds with constants depending on that lower bound. The
half-plane compactness theorem then gives locally uniform convergence of Θ_n on
{R > 0, τ ≤ -1}, and dividing by R gives that of Ω_n.
The time-pairing estimate for the rescaled azimuthal vorticity about the moving axis points
(0, zc n), on compact subsets of the open half-plane.
Off the axis the rescaled potential vorticity is the rescaled azimuthal vorticity about the
axis point divided by R.
eq:aniso:zoom:finite:compactness at the moving axis points: along a subsequence the
rescaled potential vorticities converge uniformly on every compact subset of
{R > 0, τ ≤ -1}, to a limit continuous there.
