Abstract

In this paper, we investigate some Liouville-type properties for the stationary incompressible MHD equations in three dimensions. Liouville-type properties are concerned with the uniqueness of trivial solutions to the stationary MHD equations. We show that the velocity field u and the magnetic field b are vanishing provided that \( u \in {BMO}^{-1}({\mathbb {R}}^3) \) and \( b\in L^{p,\infty }({\mathbb {R}}^3)\) with \(2 < p \le 6\). Moreover, we also prove that if

then u and b are vanishing for the stationary 3D MHD equations with partial viscosity and partial diffusivity.
