The formula is expressed in terms of generators of the deRham cohomology of the configuration space of three points in $\\R^3$, which is a more practical domain from the perspective of applications. It also admits an ergodic interpretation as an average asymptotic Milnor $\\bar{\\mu}_{123}$-invariant and allows us to obtain the $L^2$-energy bound for the magnetic field. As an intermediate step we derive an integral formula for Milnor $\\bar{\\mu}_{123}$-invariant for parametrized Borromean links in $\\R^3$.", "revisions": [ { "version": "v2", "updated": "2010-10-26T20:51:50.000Z" } ], "analyses": { "subjects": [ "76W05", "57M25", "58F18", "58A10", "05.20.-y", "04.20.Gz" ], "keywords": [ "third order helicity", "magnetic field", "link maps", "average asymptotic milnor", "parametrized borromean links" ], "tags": [ "journal article" ], "publication": { "doi": "10.1063/1.3516611", "journal": "Journal of Mathematical Physics", "year": 2010, "month": "Dec", "volume": 51, "number": 12, "pages": 2702 }, "note": { "typesetting": "TeX", "pages": 19, "language": "en", "license": "arXiv", "status": "editable", "adsabs": "2010JMP....51l2702K" } } }
