Abstract

This paper establishes the local-in-time existence and uniqueness of solutions to the viscous, non-resistive magnetohydrodynamics (MHD) equations in Rd , where d = 2, 3, with initial data B0 ∈ Hs(Rd ) and u0 ∈ Hs−1+ε(Rd ) for s > d/2 and any 0 <ε< 1. The proof relies on maximal regularity estimates for the Stokes equation. The obstruction to taking ε = 0 is explained by the failure of solutions of the heat equation with initial data u0 ∈ Hs−1 to satisfy u ∈ L1(0, T ; Hs+1); we provide an explicit example of this phenomenon.
