For the d-dimensional incompressible Euler equation, the standard energy method gives local wellposedness for initial velocity in Sobolev space with regularity above some critical threshold. The borderline case was a folklore open problem. In this paper we consider the physical dimension d=2 and show that if we perturb any given smooth initial data in critical norm, then the corresponding solution can have infinite critical norm instantaneously at t>0. In a companion paper we settle the 3D and more general cases. The constructed solutions are unique and even infinitely-smooth (locally) in some cases. To prove these results we introduce a new strategy: large Lagrangian deformation induces critical norm inflation. As an application we also settle several closely related open problems.

In this paper, we prove a necessary and sufficient condition for Tracy-Widom law of Wigner matrices. Consider N×N symmetric Wigner matrices H with Hij=N−1/2xij, whose upper right entries xij (1≤i<j≤N) are i.i.d. random variables with distribution μ and diagonal entries xii (1≤i≤N) are i.i.d. random variables with distribution $\wt \mu$. The means of μ and $\wt \mu$ are zero, the variance of μ is 1, and the variance of $\wt \mu$ is finite. We prove that Tracy-Widom law holds if and only if $\lim_{s\to \infty}s^4\p(|x_{12}| \ge s)=0$. The same criterion holds for Hermitian Wigner matrices.
