$C^{1/5^{-}}$ Convex Integration Solutions of Ideal MHD

Abstract

For any $0\leq \gamma < 1/5$, we construct weak solutions $(v, B, p )$ of the Ideal MHD Equations which do not conserve the total kinetic energy, the cross-helicity and lie in $C^\gamma(\mathbb{T}^3\times\mathbb{R})$. In the spirit of Arnold's formulation of ideal hydrodynamics, a solution is thought of as a path of volume-preserving diffeomorphisms; the proof is then based on the interplay between classical convex integration techniques and geometric constructions at the level of the Lie algebra of this Lie group. Our work substantially extends the recent work of and building on the recent work of Enciso, Pe\~nafiel-Tom\'as and Peralta-Salas.
