Abstract
In this paper we show how new techniques of topological fluid mechanics and physical knot theory can be applied to estimate magnetic energy levels in solar physics. In particular, we show that magnetic energy stored in complex configurations of plasma loops present on the Sun can be quantified by geometric and topological information. These studies find important applications in the energetics of solar and stellar physics and in laboratory plasmas.
