It is well known that the incompressible 2D Euler equations have global smooth solutions starting from smooth initial data. Existence of weak solutions is also known; however, not much is known about finer properties of weak solutions. One question we will discuss in this talk is: what can be said about solutions of the 2d Euler equations which are initially singular at only one point? Further open questions will also be discussed.
