Abstract

We investigate essential spectrum of the Euler equation linearizedabout an arbitrary smooth steady flow in dimension 3. It is provedthat for every Lyapunov-Oseledets exponent $\m$ of the associatedbicharacteristic-amplitude system, the circle of radius $e^{\mut}$ has a common point with the spectrum. If, in addition, $\mu$is attained on an aperiodic point, then the spectrum contains theentire circle.
