contents Magneto-rotational instability (MRI) is an important instability mechanism for rotating flows with magnetic fields. In particular, when the strength of the magnetic field tends to zero, the stability criterion for rotating flows is generally different from the classical Rayleigh criterion for rotating flows without a magnetic field. MRI has wide applications in astrophysics, particularly to the turbulence and enhanced angular momentum transport in accretion disks. For the case of vertical magnetic fields, we give rigorous proof of linear MRI and a complete description of the spectra and semigroup growth of the linearized operator. Moreover, we prove nonlinear stability and instability from the sharp linear stability/instability criteria.
