Abstract

The two-dimensional free boundary problem for incompressible irrotational water waves without surface tension is proved to have exactly eight nontrivial conservation laws. Included is a discussion of what constitutes a conservation law for a general free boundary problem, and a characterization of conservation laws for two-dimensional free boundary problems involving a harmonic potential proved using elementary methods from complex analysis.
