A regularity result of Cauchy problem of the ideal incompressible Magnetohydrodynamics equations

Under a homogeneous magnetic field, we establish the local well-posedness of low-regularity solutions for an ideal incompressible Magnetohydrodynamics (MHD) system in Lagrangian coordinates. Firstly, we reduce the MHD system to a degenerate wave-elliptic system inherent with a specific null form. After constructing a new solution space, we can prove some good product estimates. Combined with the inside null structure, a bilinear estimate of the Klainerman-Machedon's type for nonlinear terms can be obtained. These lead us to prove the local well-posedness of ideal incompressible MHD equations in Lagrangian coordinates if the initial velocity ₀ ∈ Hˢ(Rⁿ), s> n+1/2 $(n=2,3)$. So our result lowers 12-order regularity comparing with the classical exponent s>1+n/2. Moreover, to the author's knowledge, this is the first result concerning low-regularity solutions of the ideal MHD equations.
