Non-invariance of Gaussian Measures under the 2D Euler Flow

In this article we consider the two-dimensional incompressible Euler equations and give a sufficient condition on Gaussian measures of jointly independent Fourier coefficients supported on $H^{\sigma }({\mathbb{T}}^2)$ ($\sigma >3$) such that these measures are not invariant (in vorticity form). We show that this condition holds on an open and dense set in suitable topologies (and so is generic in a Baire category sense) and give some explicit examples of Gaussian measures which are not invariant. We also pose a few related conjectures which we believe to be approachable.
