On a spectral problem in magnetohydrodynamics and its relevance for the geodynamo
Abstract
One of the most remarkable features of the geodynamo is the irregular occurrence of magnetic field reversals. Starting with the operator theoretical treatment of a non-selfadjoint dynamo operator, we elaborate a dynamical picture of those reversals that rely on the existence of exceptional spectral points.
