Abstract
Every scalar-pressure, perfectly conducting, two-dimensional equilibrium with three magnetic field components and an arbitrary pressure profile but no current in the ignorable direction is magnetohydrodynamically stable. The stability of these equilibria bears no visible relation to any magnetic well or average magnetic well criterion and is only partly ascribable to shear.Keywords
