Regularity criteria for 3D Hall-MHD equations.

A challenging open problem in the 3D Hall-MHD theory is to ask whether or not the global weak solutions are smooth. In this paper, we prove that a weak solution is smooth if the diagonal part of the velocity gradient tensor and the non-diagonal part of the magnetic gradient tensor satisfy Ladyzhenskaya–Prodi–Serrin-type conditions. It is physically interesting since the diagonal part of a gradient tensor is related to the deformation while the non-diagonal part is related to the rotation. Moreover, our main theorems improve significantly a criterion in Ye (Comput Math Appl 70(8):2137–2154, 2015) where all entries of the velocity gradient tensor and the magnetic gradient tensor are needed.
