Magnetfeldbeschreibung mit verallgemeinerten poloidalen und toroidalen Skalaren

Abstract Representation of Magnetic Fields by Generalized poloidal and Toroidal Scalars Every solenoidal vector field can be represented by unique poloidal and toroidal scalars. This description is especially appropriate to the geometry of a sphere. A generalization which can be applied to a more or less complicated geometry could be elaborated by means of transforming integrability conditions of space into integrability conditions of surfaces. This formalism enables us to give simple proofs of other important representations of vector fields by two scalars (magnetic coordinates, complex-lamellar fields).
