    Abstract

    The existence of magnetohydrodynamic mean-field alpha^2-dynamos with
    spherically symmetric, isotropic helical turbulence function alpha is related
    to a non-self-adjoint spectral problem for a coupled system of two singular
    second order ordinary differential equations. We establish global estimates for
    the eigenvalues of this system in terms of the turbulence function alpha and
    its derivative alpha'. They allow us to formulate an anti-dynamo theorem and a
    non-oscillation theorem.

    Abstract

    Given a self-adjoint involution J on a Hilbert space H, we consider a
    J-self-adjoint operator L=A+V on H where A is a possibly unbounded self-adjoint
    operator commuting with J and V a bounded J-self-adjoint operator
    anti-commuting with J. We establish optimal estimates on the position of the
    spectrum of L with respect to the spectrum of A and we obtain norm bounds on
    the operator angles between maximal uniformly definite reducing subspaces of
    the unperturbed operator A and the perturbed operator L.
