Electric/magnetic reciprocity in premetric electrodynamics with and without magnetic charge, and the complex electromagnetic field
We extend an axiomatic approach to classical electrodynamics, which we developed recently, to the case of non-vanishing magnetic charge. Then two axioms, namely those of the existence of the Lorentz force (Axiom 2) and of magnetic flux conservation (Axiom 3) have to be generalized. Electric/magnetic reciprocity constitutes a guiding principle for this undertaking. The extension of the axioms ca...
متن کاملRiemannian light cone from vanishing birefringence in premetric vacuum electrodynamics
We consider premetric electrodynamics with a local and linear constitutive law for the vacuum. Within this framework, we find quartic Fresnel wave surfaces for the propagation of light. If we require vanishing birefringence in vacuum, then a Riemannian light cone is implied. No proper Finslerian structure can occur. This is generalized to dynamical equations of any order.
متن کاملQuantum Electrodynamics in a Uniform Magnetic Field
A systematic formalism for quantum electrodynamics in a classical uniform magnetic field is discussed. The first order radiative correction to the ground state energy of an electron is calculated. This then leads to the anomalous magnetic moment of an electron without divergent integrals. Thorough analyses of this problem are given for the weak magnetic field limit. A new expression for the rad...
متن کاملMaxwell’s equations in Minkowski’s world: their premetric generalization and the electromagnetic energy-momentum tensor
In December 1907, Minkowski expressed the Maxwell equations in the very beautiful and compact 4dimensional form: lor f = −s, lor F ∗ = 0. Here ‘lor’, an abbreviation of Lorentz, represents the 4dimensional differential operator. We study Minkowski’s derivation and show how these equations generalize to their modern premetric form in the framework of tensor and exterior calculus. After mentionin...
متن کاملQuantum electrodynamics in the gravitational field of a cosmic string.
We evaluate the cross section for electron-positron pair production by a single high energy photon in the space-time of a static, straight cosmic string. Energy and momentum conservation precludes this process in empty Minkowski space. It happens around a cosmic string, in spite of the local flatness of the metric, as a consequence of the conical structure of space. Previous results based on a ...
