Abstract

We study the problem of propagation of regularity of solutions to the incompressible viscous non-resistive magneto-hydrodynamics system. According to scaling, the Sobolev space Hn21(Rn)×Hn2(Rn)H^{\frac n2-1}(\mathbb R^n)\times H^{\frac n2}(\mathbb R^n) is critical for the system. We show that if a weak solution (u(t),b(t))(u(t),b(t)) is in Hs(Rn)×Hs+1(Rn)H^{s}(\mathbb R^n)\times H^{s+1}(\mathbb R^n) with s>n21s>\frac n2-1 at a certain time t0t_0, then it will stay in the space for a short time, provided the initial velocity u(0)Hs(Rn)u(0)\in H^s(\mathbb R^n). In the case that the uniqueness of weak solution in Hs(Rn)×Hs+1(Rn)H^{s}(\mathbb R^n)\times H^{s+1}(\mathbb R^n) is known, the assumption of u(0)Hs(Rn)u(0)\in H^s(\mathbb R^n) is not necessary.
