We show that there exists a smooth solution that is bounded for all positive times. The proof is based on short-time regularization estimates for the Fisher information, which, combined with the recent result of Guillen and Silvestre, yields the existence of a global-in-time smooth solution. Additionally, if the initial data belongs to <span>(L^p)</span> with <span>(p>3/2)</span>, there is a unique solution. At the crux of the result is a new <span>(varepsilon )</span>-regularity criterion in the spirit of the Caffarelli–Kohn–Nirenberg theorem: a solution which is small in weighted <span>(L^{3/2})</span> is regular. Although the <span>(L^{3/2})</span> norm is a critical quantity for the Landau–Coulomb equation, using this norm to measure the regularity of solutions presents significant complications. For instance, the <span>(L^{3/2})</span> norm alone is not enough to control the <span>(L^infty )</span> norm of the competing reaction and diffusion coefficients. These analytical challenges caused prior methods relying on the parabolic structure of the Landau–Coulomb to break down.

An arc-shaped filament travels along an axis at a constant speed without changing its shape, and is oriented in such a way that the arc stays in a plane that is perpendicular to the axis. We prove that an arc-shaped filament is stable in the Lyapunov sense for general perturbations except in the axis-direction, for which the perturbation can grow linearly in time. We also show that this estimate is optimal. We then apply the obtained stability estimates to study the stability of a circular vortex filament under some symmetry assumptions on the initial perturbation. We do this by dividing the circular filament into arcs, apply the stability estimate to each arc-shaped filament, and combine the estimates to obtain estimates for the whole circle.
