In the last decades, many mathematicians have studied the {\em curl operator} on compact (both with or without empty boundary) three-manifolds, mainly the behaviour of its spectrum and some iso\-pe\-ri\-me\-tric problems associated with it.…

We show that the spectrum of the curl operator on a generic smoothly bounded domain in three-dimensional Euclidean space consists of simple eigenvalues. The main new ingredient in our proof is a formula for the variation of curl eigenvalues…
