Abstract

In this paper we parallel the construction of Tong of a gauge theory for shallow water, by writing a gauge theory for the Euler fluid in 2+1 dimensions. We then extend it to a Euler fluid coupled to an electromagnetic background. We argue that the gauge theory formulation provides a topological argument for the quantization of 2+1 dimensional Euler Hopfion solution. In the process, we find a (nongauge) action for the Euler fluid that can be extended to any dimension, including the physical 3+1 dimensions. We also discuss several aspects of the Arnold-Beltrami-Childress flow.
