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 , which is a more practical domain from the perspective of applications. It also admits an ergodic interpretation as an average asymptotic Milnor -invariant and allows us to obtain the -energy bound for the magnetic field. As an intermediate step we derive an integral formula for Milnor -invariant for parametrized Borromean links in .
