Scientific paper

A solution is obtained to the problem of the reconnection of magnetic lines of force in the case when reconnection is initiated by an Alfven wave incident on the current sheet. Zeroth and first order approximations with respect to the Mach-Alfven number are obtained. It is shown that reconnection is inhibited if the electric current in the discontinuity incident on the current sheet is parallel to the current in the sheet. The incidence of the discontinuity stimulates reconnection when the two currents are not parallel.
