Abstract
The influence of an underlying current on three-wave interactions of capillary water waves is studied. The fact that in irrotational flow resonant three-wave interactions are not possible can be invalidated by the presence of an underlying current of constant non-zero vorticity. We show that: 1) wave trains in flows with constant non-zero vorticity are possible only for two-dimensional flows, 2) only positive constant vorticities can trigger the appearance of three-wave resonances, 3) the number of positive constant vorticities which do trigger a resonance is countable and 4) the magnitude of a positive constant vorticity triggering a resonance cannot be too small.
