Abstract
Point vortices on a cylinder (periodic strip) are studied geometrically, using local integrals of motion. The Hamiltonian formalism is developed, a non-existence theorem for relative equilibria is proved, equilibria are classified when all vorticities have the same sign, and several results on relative periodic orbits are established, including as corollaries classical results on vortex streets and leapfrogging.
