Abstract

In this sequel we extend the derivation of the third order helicity to magnetic fields supported on unlinked domains in 3-space. The formula is expressed in terms of generators of the deRham cohomology of the configuration space of three points in R3\R^3, which is a more practical domain from the perspective of applications. It also admits an ergodic interpretation as an average asymptotic Milnor μˉ123\bar{\mu}_{123}-invariant and allows us to obtain the L2L^2-energy bound for the magnetic field. As an intermediate step we derive an integral formula for Milnor μˉ123\bar{\mu}_{123}-invariant for parametrized Borromean links in R3\R^3.
