# Global existence and large time behavior of solutions to the electric-magnetohydrodynamic equations

• We are concerned with global existence and large-time behavior of solutions to the isentropic electric-magnetohydrodynamic equations in a bounded domain $\Omega\subseteq\mathbb{R}^{N}$, $N=2,\ 3$. We establish the existence and large-time behavior of global weak solutions through a three-level approximation, energy estimates on condition that the adiabatic constant satisfies $\gamma>3/2$.
