Boundary regularity of rotating vortex patches Abstract: In this talk we will introduce the notion of vortex patch and we will show that the boundary of a rotating vortex patch is C{\infty} when the patch is close to the bifurcation circle in the Lipschit norm. The rotating patch is also convex if it is close to the bifurcation circle in the C^2 norm. Our proofs are based on Burbea's approach to V-states.
