Abstract

In this paper, we prove a sharp ill-posedness result for the incompressible non-resistive MHD equations. In any dimension d2d\ge 2, we show the ill-posedness of the non-resistive MHD equations in Hd21(Rd)×Hd2(Rd)H^{\frac{d}{2}-1}(\mathbb{R}^d)\times H^{\frac{d}{2}}(\mathbb{R}^d), which is sharp in view of the results of the local well-posedness in Hs1(Rd)×Hs(Rd)(s>d2)H^{s-1}(\mathbb{R}^d)\times H^{s}(\mathbb{R}^d)(s>\frac{d}{2}) established by Fefferman et al.(Arch. Ration. Mech. Anal., \textbf{223} (2), 677-691, 2017). Furthermore, we generalize the ill-posedness results from Hd21(Rd)×Hd2(Rd)H^{\frac{d}{2}-1}(\mathbb{R}^d)\times H^{\frac{d}{2}}(\mathbb{R}^d) to Besov spaces Bp,qdp1(Rd)×Bp,qdp(Rd)B^{\frac{d}{p}-1}_{p, q}(\mathbb{R}^d)\times B^{\frac{d}{p}}_{p, q}(\mathbb{R}^d) and B˙p,qdp1(Rd)×B˙p,qdp(Rd)\dot B^{\frac{d}{p}-1}_{p, q}(\mathbb{R}^d)\times \dot B^{\frac{d}{p}}_{p, q}(\mathbb{R}^d) for 1p,q>11\le p\le\infty, q>1. Different from the ill-posedness mechanism of the incompressible Navier-Stokes equations in B˙,q1\dot B^{-1}_{\infty, q} \cite{B,W}, we construct an initial data such that the paraproduct terms (low-high frequency interaction) of the nonlinear term make the main contribution to the norm inflation of the magnetic field.
