Autonomous Lipschitz Fast Dynamo on the Three-Torus
Statement
Does there exist a single real-valued, divergence-free, time-independent Lipschitz velocity field , chosen independently of magnetic diffusivity, that is a fast dynamo for the kinematic induction equation on the flat three-torus? The author constructs such a field and constants such that, for every , the induction operator has an eigenvalue with . Thus every sufficiently small diffusivity admits a nonzero real divergence-free magnetic field with exact exponential growth. The velocity is Lipschitz but not , so this settles only the Lipschitz regularity variant; Arnold's smooth autonomous fast-dynamo problem on remains open.

During exploration, GPT-5.5 Pro and GPT-5.6 Sol helped identify a candidate fast-dynamo construction. They were later used to check calculations; identify errors, inconsistencies, and gaps in preliminary arguments; support development of some arguments; and assist with drafting and revision. The author states that he critically reviewed and verified every mathematical claim, calculation, and AI-generated suggestion and takes full responsibility for the manuscript.
