I will talk about some recent work on the stability problem of shear flows and vortices as solutions of the Euler equations in 2D.  Our results include nonlinear stability theorems for monotonic shear  flows and point vortices, as well as linear stability theorems for more general flows. This is joint work with Hao Jia.
