From page 149...
... Important topics include the dynamics of three-dimensional current systems, current and wave filamentation, current sheet formation, the effect of magnetic forces on plasma currents, helicity generation, and helicity conservation. These processes have far-reaching consequences in the understanding of solar flares, solar magnetospheric physics, and fusion physics.
