Characterization of non-empty energy spaces for continuous magnetic fields

About 18 years old · traced to

Let B∈C(R2)B\in C(\mathbb R^2) be a continuous magnetic field, and let EB\mathcal E_B denote the energy space associated with BB. The notation B=curl⁡A′B=\operatorname{curl} A' means that the magnetic field is the curl of a vector potential A′A'. Energy-space conjecture. The energy space EB\mathcal E_B is non-empty if and only if there exists A′∈L2(R2;R2)A'\in L^2(\mathbb R^2;\mathbb R^2) such that

B=curl⁡A′.B=\operatorname{curl} A'.

The preceding theorems establish this characterization under additional regularity and boundedness assumptions on the magnetic field or potential; the conjecture proposes that continuity of BB alone suffices.
