Abstract
We provide a complete description of the critical threshold phenomenon for the twodimensional
localized Euler–Poisson equations, introduced by the authors in [Comm. Math. Phys.,
228 (2002), pp. 435–466]. Here, the questions of global regularity vs. finite-time breakdown for the
two-dimensional (2D) restricted Euler–Poisson solutions are classified in terms of precise explicit
formulae, describing a remarkable variety of critical threshold surfaces of initial configurations. In
particular, it is shown that the 2D critical thresholds depend on the relative sizes of three quantities:
the initial density, the initial divergence, and the initial spectral gap, that is, the difference between
the two eigenvalues of the 2 × 2 initial velocity gradient.
