Abstract:We present a theoretical framework to analyze the 3D coronal vector magnetic-field structure. We assume that the vector magnetic field exists and is
a priori
smooth. We introduce a generalized connectivity phase space associated with the vector magnetic field in which the basic elements are the
field line
and its linearized variation: the
Spatial Propagator
. We provide a direct formulation of these elements in terms of the vector magnetic fi… Show more
