Abstract
Magnetic energy transfer from small to large scales due to successive magnetic island coalescence is investigated. A solvable analytical model is introduced and shown to correctly capture the evolution of the main quantities of interest, as borne out by numerical simulations. Magnetic reconnection is identified as the key mechanism enabling the inverse transfer, and setting its properties: magnetic energy decays as \tilde t^{-1} where $\tilde...
