Ergodicity of a Galerkin approximation of three-dimensional magnetohydrodynamics system forced by a degenerate noise

Magnetohydrodynamics system consists of a coupling of the Navier-Stokes and Maxwell's equations and is most useful in studying the motion of electrically conducting fluids. We prove the existence of a unique invariant, and consequently ergodic, measure for the Galerkin approximation system of the three-dimensional magnetohydrodynamics system. The proof is inspired by those of E. Weinan and J.C. Mattingly, Ergodicity for the Navier-Stokes equation with degenerate random forcing: Finitedimensional approximation, Comm. Pure Appl. Math. LIV (2001), pp. 1386–1402; M. Romito, Ergodicity of the finite dimensional approximation of the 3D Navier-Stokes equations forced by a degenerate noise, J. Stat. Phys. 114 (2004), pp. 155–177] on the Navier-Stokes equations; however, computations involve significantly more complications due to the coupling of the velocity field equations with those of magnetic field that consists of four non-linear terms.
