Local well-posedness for the Hall-MHD system in optimal Sobolev Spaces

Abstract

We show that the viscous resistive magneto-hydrodynamics system with Hall effect is locally well-posed in $H^s(\mathbb R^n)\times H^{s+1-\varepsilon}(\mathbb R^n)$ with $s>\frac{n}2-1$ and any small enough $\varepsilon>0$ such that $s+1-\varepsilon>\frac{n}2$. This space is to date the largest local well-posedness space in the class of Sobolev spaces for the system. It is also optimal according to the predominant scalings of the two equations in the system.
