Oberwolfach MFO

Organized by Michele Coti Zelati, Emmanuel Dormy, David Gérard-Varet, and László Székelyhidi, the seminar will focus on recent advances in the mathematical analysis of magnetohydrodynamics (MHD), dynamo theory, and magnetic relaxation. These topics are central to understanding magnetic field generation in conducting fluids, with important applications in planetary physics, astrophysics, solar corona dynamics, and fusion plasmas. Particular emphasis will be placed on low-viscosity and low-resistivity regimes, the emergence of small scales, magnetic instabilities, and the interplay between stretching and diffusion in MHD flows. The program will combine lectures, discussions, and short presentations addressing current mathematical challenges in the field. The Institute covers accommodation and meals, and partial travel reimbursement (up to approximately 150 EUR on average) is available. Participation is limited to 24 attendees.
