Abstract
We consider a class of magnetic fields defined over the interior of a manifold which go to infinity at its boundary and whose direction near the boundary of is controlled by a closed 1-form . We are able to show that charged particles in the interior of under the influence of such fields can only escape the manifold through the zero locus of . In particular in the case where the 1-form is nowhere vanishing we conclude that the particles become confined to its interior for all time.
