contents For a $C^1_{t,x}$ solution $u$ to the incompressible 3D Euler equations, the helicity $H(u(t))=\int_{\mathbb{T}^3} u \cdot \textrm{curl}\, u$ is constant in time. For general low-regularity weak solutions, it is not always clear how to define the helicity, or whether it must be constant in time in the case that there is a clear definition. In this paper, we define a generalized helicity which extends the classical definitions and construct weak solutions of Euler of almost Onsager-critical regularity in $L^3$ with prescribed generalized helicity and kinetic energy.

For a $C^1_{t,x}$ solution $u$ to the incompressible 3D Euler equations, the helicity $H(u(t))=\int_{\mathbb{T}^3} u \cdot \textrm{curl}\, u$ is constant in time. For general low-regularity weak solutions, it is not always clear how to define the helicity, or whether it must be constant in time in the case that there is a clear definition. In this paper, we define a generalized helicity which extends the classical definitions and construct weak solutions of Euler of almost Onsager-critical regularity in $L^3$ with prescribed generalized helicity and kinetic energy.
