Shock formation in solutions to the 2D compressible Euler equations in the presence of non-zero vorticity

We study the Cauchy problem for the compressible Euler equations in two spatial dimensions under any physical barotropic equation of state except that of a Chaplygin gas. We prove that the well-known phenomenon of shock formation in simple plane wave solutions, starting from smooth initial data, is...
