The fluid flow is governed by the equations of ideal compressible magnetohydrodynamics (MHD). Unlike the classical statement, when the vacuum magnetic field obeys the div-curl system of pre-Maxwell dynamics, we do not neglect the displacement current in the vacuum region and consider the Maxwell equations for electric and magnetic fields. With boundary conditions on the interface this forms a nonlinear hyperbolic problem with a characteristic free boundary. The statement of this free boundary problem comes from the relativistic setting where the displacement current in vacuum cannot be neglected. We also briefly discuss the recent result showing the stabilizing effect of surface tension.</p></abstract><trans-abstract xml:lang="ru"><p>Мы рассматриваем результаты о корректности задачи со свободной границей (интерфейсом), где граница отделяет идеально проводящую невязкую жидкость (например, плазму) от вакуума. Течение жидкости регулируется уравнениями идеальной сжимаемой магнитогидродинамики (МГД). В отличие от классической постановки, когда вакуумное магнитное поле подчиняется системе div-rot домаксвелловской динамики, мы не пренебрегаем током смещения в вакуумной области и рассматриваем уравнения Максвелла для электрических и магнитных полей. С граничными условиями на интерфейсе это образует нелинейную гиперболическую задачу с характеристической свободной границей. Постановка этой задачи свободного интерфейса исходит из релятивистской постановки, где током смещения в вакууме нельзя пренебречь. Мы также кратко обсуждаем недавний результат, показывающий стабилизирующий эффект поверхностного натяжения.</p></trans-abstract><kwd-group xml:lang="en"><kwd>ideal compressible magnetohydrodynamics equations</kwd><kwd>free boundary problem</kwd><kwd>displacement current</kwd><kwd>Maxwell’s equations</kwd><kwd>nonlinear hyperbolic problem</kwd><kwd>well-posedness</kwd></kwd-group><kwd-group xml:lang="ru"><kwd>уравнения идеальной сжимаемой магнитогидродинамики</kwd><kwd>задача со свободной границей</kwd><kwd>ток смещения</kwd><kwd>уравнения Максвелла</kwd><kwd>нелинейная гиперболическая задача</kwd><kwd>корректность</kwd></kwd-group><funding-group><funding-statement xml:lang="en">The study was carried out at the Sobolev Institute of Mathematics within the framework of a government contract (project No. FVNF-2022-0008).</funding-statement><funding-statement xml:lang="ru">Исследование выполнено в Институте математики им.
