A general type of mathematical argument is described, which applies to all the cases in which dynamo maintenance of a steady magnetic field by motion in a uniform density is known to be impossible. Previous work has demonstrated that…
The axisymmetric kinematic dynamo problem is reconsidered and a number of open questions are answered. Apart from axisymmetry and smoothness of data and solution we deal with this problem under quite general conditions, i.e. we assume a…
We propose a new notion of Partial Inertial Manifold to study the long-time asymptotic behavior of dissipative differential equations. As shown on an example, such manifolds may exist in the cases when the classical Inertial manifold does…
We consider the classical problem of kinematic dynamo action in simple steady flows. Due to the adjointness of the induction operator, we show that the growth rate of the dynamo will be exactly the same for two types of magnetic boundary…
We use the version of the Lyapunov--Perron method operating on individual solutions to investigate the existence of invariant manifolds for non-autonomous dynamical systems, focusing in particular on inertial and stable manifolds. We…
Planetary magnetic fields are generated by motions of electrically conducting fluids in their interiors. The dynamo problem has thus received much attention in spherical geometries, even though planetary bodies are non-spherical. To go…
The dynamics of magnetic moments consist of a precession around the magnetic field direction and a relaxation towards the field to minimize the energy. While the magnetic moment and the angular momentum are conventionally assumed to be…
The generation of magnetic field in an electrically conducting fluid generally involves the complicated nonlinear interaction of flow turbulence, rotation and field. This dynamo process is of great importance in geophysics, planetary…

Curvature and helicity topological bounds for the magnetic energy of the streamlines magnetic structures of a kinematic dynamo flow are computed. The existence of the filament dynamos are determined by solving the magnetohydrodynamic…
This is the second part of our study of the Inertial Manifolds for 1D systems of reaction-diffusion-advection equations initiated in \cite{KZI} and it is devoted to the case of periodic boundary conditions. It is shown that, in contrast to…
The magnetic field measured in the Madison Dynamo Experiment shows intermittent periods of growth when an axial magnetic field is applied. The geometry of the intermittent field is consistent with the fastest growing magnetic eigenmode…
We study some classes of semi-linear differential equations including both well-posed and ill-posed cases that can generate cocycles (or cocycle correspondences with generating cocycles). Under exponential dichotomy condition with other…
Inertial manifold theory, saddle point property and exponential dichotomy have been treated as different topics in the literature with different proofs. As a common feature, they all have the purpose of `splitting' the space to understand…
We consider the kinematic dynamo equations for a passive vector in $\mathcal{M} \times \mathbb{T} \subseteq \mathbb{R}^2 \times \mathbb{T}$ describing the evolution of a magnetic field with resistivity $\varepsilon>0$, that is transported…
In the framework of the variational principle the canonical variables describing ideal magnetohydrodynamic (MHD) flows of general type (i.e., with spatially varying entropy and nonzero values of all topological invariants) are introduced.…
We numerically examine dynamo action generated by a flow of an electrically conducting fluid in a precessing cylindrical cavity. We compare a simplified kinematic approach based on the solution of the magnetic induction equation with a…
We present an elegant method of determining the eigensolutions of the induction and the dynamo equation in a fluid embedded in a vacuum. The magnetic field is expanded in a complete set of functions. The new method is based on the…

Some recent results and open issues in magnetic dynamo theory are addressed. The distinction between small-scale and mean-field dynamo (MFD) action in forced turbulent flows is emphasized. Though useful, the MFD has been controversial. This…
