Existence of Purely Alvén Waves in Magnetic Flux Tubes with Arbitrary Cross-Sections

We study linear torsional Alfvén waves in a magnetic flux tube with an arbitrary cross-section. We assume that the equilibrium magnetic field is propagating in the <i>z</i>-direction in Cartesian coordinates <inline-formula><math xmlns="http://www.w3.org/1998/Math/MathML&qu...
