Singularity formation for the incompressible Hall-MHD equations without resistivity

preprint2013arXivOpen access

Abstract

In this paper we show that the incompressible Hall-MHD system without resistivity is not globally in time well-posed in any Sobolev space Hm(R3)H^{m}(\mathbb{R}^3) for any m>72m>\frac{7}{2}. Namely, either the system is locally ill-posed in Hm(R3)H^{m}(\mathbb{R}^3), or it is locally well-posed, but there exists an initial data in Hm(R3)H^{m}(\mathbb{R}^3), for which the Hm(R3)H^{m}(\mathbb{R}^3) norm of solution blows-up in finite time if m>7/2m>7/2. In the latter case we choose an axisymmetric initial data u0(x)=u0r(r,z)er+b0z(r,z)ezu_0(x)=u_{0r}(r,z)e_r+ b_{0z}(r,z)e_z and B0(x)=b0θ(r,z)eθB_0(x)=b_{0θ}(r,z)e_θ, and reduce the system to the axisymmetric setting. If the convection term survives sufficiently long time, then the Hall term generates the singularity on the axis of symmetry and we have lim⁡sup⁡t→t∗sup⁡z∈R∣∂z∂rbθ(r=0,z)∣=∞ \lim\sup_{t\to t_*} \sup_{z\in \Bbb R} |\partial_z\partial_r b_θ(r=0,z)|=\infty for some t∗>0t_*>0.
