Global well-posedness of 3-D density-dependent incompressible MHD equations with variable resistivity

Abstract

In this paper, we investigate the global existence of weak solutions to 3-D inhomogeneous incompressible MHD equations with variable viscosity and resistivity, which is sufficiently close to $1$ in $L^\infty(\mathbb{R}^3),$ provided that the initial density is bounded from above and below by positive constants, and both the initial velocity and magnetic field are small enough in the critical space $\dot{H}^{\frac{1}{2}}(\mathbb{R}^3).$ Furthermore, if we assume in addition that the kinematic viscosity equals $1,$ and both the initial velocity and magnetic field belong to $\dot{B}^{\frac{1}{2}}_{2,1}(\mathbb{R}^3),$ we can also prove the uniqueness of such solution.
