Abstract: We consider the three-dimensional magnetohydrodynamics (MHD) equations in the presence of a spatially degenerate stochastic forcing as a model for magnetostrophic turbulence in the Earth's fluid core. We examine the multi-parameter singular limit of vanishing Rossby number $epsilon$ and magnetic Reynold's number $delta$, and establish that: (i) the limiting stochastically driven active scalar equation (with $epsilon=delta=0$) possesses a unique ergodic invariant measure, and (ii) any suitable sequence of statistically invariant states of the full MHD system converge weakly, as $epsilon,deltaightarrow0$, to the unique invariant measure of the limit equation. This latter convergence result does not require any conditions on the relative rates at which $varepsilon,delta$ decay. Our analysis of the limit equation relies on a recently developed theory of hypo-ellipticity for infinite-dimensional stochastic dynamical systems. We carry out a detailed study of the interactions between the nonlinear and stochastic terms to demonstrate that a H"{o}rmander bracket condition is satisfied, which yields a contraction property for the limit equation in a suitable Wasserstein metric. This contraction property reduces the convergence of invariant states in the multi-parameter limit to the convergence of solutions at finite times. However, in view of the phase space mismatch between the small parameter system and the limit equation, and due to the multi-parameter nature of the problem, further analysis is required to establish the singular limit. In particular, we develop methods to lift the contraction for the limit equation to the extended phase space, including the velocity and magnetic fields. Moreover, for the convergence of solutions at finite times we make use of a probabilistic modification of the Gr"onwall inequality, relying on a delicate stopping time argument.
