[Loops] new paper

[binhest at mps.mpg.de]

Dear Marcus,

thanks for the hint to your recent loop paper. I browsed through it
but I stumbled already on page three where you outline your philosophy:
You want to test, how close you can fit a potential field to a set of
(stereoscopically derived) field lines. The answer could have bee given
without numerical tests: as close as your parameter space allows. The
same would hold for a NLFField. The field you find is probably not
unique, because you may superpose potential fields which vanish along
the field lines. Hence from a successful fit no conclusion can be drawn 
about the nature of the true field.
At the end of subsection 2.1:  I do not know the paper by Gary (2010), but 
Conlon and Gallagher (2010) is not NLFFF.
And finally: What do you mean by "Abelian"? Commonly this term is used for 
a group property indicating the the group operation is commutative. What 
does "Abelian" mean for a magnetic vector field ?

Many regards

Bernd
