In this talk we describe recent results on classification and rigidity
properties of stationary homogeneous solutions to the 3D and 2D Euler
equations. The problem is motivated be recent exclusions of self-similar
blowup for Euler and its relation to Onsager conjecture and
intermittency. In 2D the problem also arises in several other areas such as isometric
immersions
of the 2-sphere, or optimal transport. A full classification of two dimensional
solutions
will be given. In 3D we reveal several new classes of solutions and prove their
rigidity properties. In particular, irrotational solutions are characterized by
vanishing of
the Bernoulli function; and tangential flows are necessarily 2D
axisymmetric pure rotations. In several cases solutions are excluded
altogether. The arguments reveal geodesic features of the Euler equation on
the sphere. We further discuss the case when homogeneity corresponds to
the Onsager-critical state. We will show that anomalous energy flux at
the singularity vanishes, which is suggestive of absence of extreme
$0$-dimensional intermittencies in dissipative flows.
