Abstract: In the present paper, we show an improved lower bound for the lifespan of the solutions to the ideal MHD equations in the case of space dimension $d=2$. In particular, for small initial magnetic fields $b_0$ of size (say) $varepsilon>0$, the lifespan $T_{v}arepsilon>0$ of the corresponding solution goes to $+infty$ in the limit $varepsilonightarrow{0}^{+}$. Such a result does not follow from standard quasi-linear hyperbolic theory. For proving it, three are the crucial ingredients: first of all, to work in endpoint Besov spaces $B_{infty,r}^s$, under the condition $s>1$ and $rin[1,+infty]$ or $s=r=1$; moreover, to use the Els"asser formulation of the ideal MHD, recasted in its vorticity formulation; finally, to take advantage of the special structure of the non-linear terms. We also rigorously establish the equivalence between the original formulation of the ideal MHD and its Els"asser formulation for a large class of weak solutions. The construction of explicit counterexamples shows the sharpness of our assumptions. Related non-uniqueness issues are discussed as well.
