On the Yudovich solutions for the ideal MHD equations
Résumé
In this paper, we address the problem of weak solutions of Yudovich type for the inviscid MHD equations in two dimensions. The local-in-time existence and uniqueness of these solutions sound to be hard to achieve due to some terms involving Riesz transforms in the vorticity-current formulation. We shall prove that the vortex patches with smooth boundary offer a suitable class of initial data for which the problem can be solved. However this is only done under a geometric constraint by assuming the boundary of the initial vorticity to be frozen in a magnetic field line. We shall also discuss the stationary patches for the incompressible Euler system $(E)$ and the MHD system. For example, we prove that a stationary simply connected patch with rectifiable boundary for the system $(E)$ is necessarily the characteristic function of a disc.
