Abstract We perform a detailed Lie symmetry analysis for the hyperbolic system of partial differential equations that describe the one-dimensional Shallow Water magnetohydrodynamics equations within a rotating reference frame. We consider a relaxing condition ∇ h B ≠ 0 for the one-dimensional problem, which has been used to overcome unphysical behaviors. The hyperbolic system of partial differential equations depends on two parameters: the constant gravitational potential g and the Coriolis term f 0, related to the constant rotation of the reference frame. For four different cases, namely g = 0, f 0 = 0; g ≠ 0 , f 0 = 0; g = 0, f 0 ≠ 0; and g ≠ 0, f 0 ≠ 0 the admitted Lie symmetries for the hyperbolic system form different Lie algebras. Specifically the admitted Lie algebras are the L 10 = A 3 , 3 ⋊ A 2 , 1 ⨂ s A 5 , 34 a ; L 8 = A 2,1 ⋊ A 6,22; L 7 = A 3 , 5 ⋊ A 2 , 1 ⋊ A 2 , 1 ; and L 6 = A 3,5 ⋊ A 3,3respectively, where we use the Morozov-Mubarakzyanov-Patera classification scheme. For the general case where f 0 g ≠ 0, we derive all the invariants for the Adjoint action of the Lie algebra L 6 and its subalgebras, and we calculate all the elements of the one-dimensional optimal system. These elements are then considered to define similarity transformations and construct analytic solutions for the hyperbolic system.
