Calculations in the theory of tearing instability

Recent studies have suggested that the tearing instability may play a significant role in magnetic turbulence. In this work we review the theory of the magnetohydrodynamic tearing instability in the general case of an arbitrary tearing parameter, which is relevant for applications in turbulence. We...
