Residual Energy and Broken Symmetry in Reduced Magnetohydrodynamics by S. Dorfman, M. Abler, S. Boldyrev, C. H. K. Chen, S. Greess

“…Alfvénic quasi-modes that do not satisfy the Alfvén wave dispersion relation and exist only in the presence of a nonlinear term can contain either positive or negative residual energy, but until now, an intuitive physical explanation for why negative residual energy is preferred has remained elusive. This paper shows that the equations of reduced MHD are symmetric in that they have no intrinsic preference for one sign of the residual energy over the other. …”
