The objective of this talk is to classify all critical points of an energy functional associated to an incompressible elastic deformation of an annulus. We principally consider a sub-class of self maps of the domain in the form of whirls. After a study of the relationship between two Euler-Lagrange systems we resolve the main question in the context of a weighted Dirichlet energy. Of particular interest here is a striking discrepancy in the solution sets depending on whether the underlying spatial dimension is odd or even. This is joint work with Dr. Ali Taheri.
