Abstract
We consider the magnetohydrodynamic equations in a smooth toroid located at a positive distance from its axis of symmetry. Since the domain is axially symmetric, we can prove existence of global regular axially symmetric solutions. Next, stability of these solutions is proved. In this way the existence of global regular solutions close to the axially symmetric solutions for all time is shown.
