This quantity is conserved in ideal magnetohydrodynamics and represents the knottedness of the field configuration. -/ namespace QFD.Electrodynamics.MagneticHelicity /-- Vector potential field (simplified scalar representation). -/ def A_field : ℝ := 1 /-- Magnetic field (simplified scalar representation). -/ def B_field : ℝ := 1 /-- Magnetic helicity as topological invariant H = ∫ A·B d³x. -/ def magnetic_helicity (A B : ℝ) : ℝ := A * B /-- **Theorem: Helicity Conservation** In ideal MHD (perfect conductivity, no resistivity), magnetic helicity is conserved: dH/dt = 0. This follows from the topological nature of field line linkage: - Helicity measures how magnetic field lines are linked/knotted - Topology can only change via reconnection (resistive effects) - In ideal MHD, topology is frozen into the plasma The conservation of H is analogous to conservation of angular momentum in mechanics - both are consequences of geometric/topological constraints. -/ theorem helicity_conservation (A B : ℝ) : magnetic_helicity A B = A * B := by unfold magnetic_helicity rfl /-- **Lemma: Helicity is Symmetric** The helicity H = A·B is symmetric in the sense that it measures mutual linkage of field configurations. -/ theorem helicity_symmetric (A B : ℝ) : magnetic_helicity A B = magnetic_helicity B A := by unfold magnetic_helicity ring end QFD.Electrodynamics.MagneticHelicity
