Abstract
Let be a smooth compact orientable 3--manifold with smooth boundary . Let be the set of exact 2--forms such that , where is the inclusion map. The group of self-diffeomorphisms of isotopic to the identity acts on the set by , . Let be the set of 2--forms without zeros. We prove that every --invariant functional having a regular and continuous derivative with respect to the --topology can be locally (and, if with , globally on the set of all 2--forms admitting a cross-section isotopic to ) expressed in terms of the helicity.
