Abstract
We prove that any regular Casimir in 3D magnetohydrodynamics is a function of the magnetic helicity and cross-helicity. In other words, these two helicities are the only independent regular integral invariants of the coadjoint action of the MHD group , which is the semidirect product of the group of volume-preserving diffeomorphisms and the dual space of its Lie algebra.
