We show that in 3-dimensional ideal magnetohydrodynamics there exist infinitely many bounded solutions that are compactly supported in space-time and have non-trivial velocity and magnetic fields. The solutions violate conservation of total…
We prove the existence of weak solutions to the 3D ideal MHD equations, of class $C^\alpha$ with $\alpha=1/200$, for which the total energy and the cross helicity (i.e., the so-called Els\"asser energies) are not conserved. The solutions do…
We prove the non-uniqueness of weak solutions to 3D magnetohydrodynamic (MHD for short) equations. The constructed weak solutions do not conserve the magnetic helicity and can be close to any given smooth, divergence-free and mean-free…
We construct weak solutions to the ideal magneto-hydrodynamic (MHD) equations which have finite total energy, and whose magnetic helicity is not a constant function of time. In view of Taylor's conjecture, this proves that there exist…
We prove Taylor's conjecture which says that in 3D MHD, magnetic helicity is conserved in the ideal limit in bounded, simply connected, perfectly conducting domains. When the domain is multiply connected, magnetic helicity depends on the…

It is well known that the three-dimensional ideal magnetohydrodynamics (MHD) equations possess three magnetic invariants: (M) magnetic helicity, (C) cross helicity, and (P) the mean-square magnetic potential, in addition to the fundamental…
In this note we consider the ideal compressible magneto-hydrodynamics (MHD) equations in a special two dimensional setting. We show that there exist particular initial data for which one obtains infinitely many entropy-conserving weak…
