On Maxwell Equations for Gravitational Field

Analysis of Maxwell Equations in a Gravitational Field

In a gravitational field, we analyze the Maxwell equations, the correponding electromagnetic wave and continuity equations. A particular solution for parellel electric and magnetic fields in a gravitational background is presented. These solutions also satisfy the free-wave equations and the phenomenology suggested by plasma physics.

Some Variational Problems for Field Equations Coupled with Maxwell Equations

From Maxwell Stresses to Nonlinear Field Equations

This paper aims to show that making use of Newton’s view on equations of motion of a physical system and of the Maxwell stress tensor we come to a natural nonlinearization of Maxwell equations in vacuum making use only of nonrelativistic terms. The new equations include all Maxwell solutions plus new ones, among which one may find time-stable and spatially finite ones with photon-like propertie...

Gravitational Field Equations on and off a 3-Brane World

Abstract The effective gravitational field equations on and off a 3-brane world possessing a Z2 mirror symmetry and embedded in a five-dimensional bulk spacetime with cosmological constant were derived by Shiromizu, Maeda and Sasaki (SMS) in the framework of the Gauss-Codazzi projective approach with the subsequent specialization to the Gaussian normal coordinates in the neighborhood of the bra...

Numerical Methods for Maxwell Equations

The Maxwell equations describe the interaction of electric and magnetic fields. Important applications are electric machines such as transformers or motors, or electromagnetic waves radiated from antennas or transmitted in optical fibres. To compute the solutions of real life problems on complicated geometries, numerical methods are required. In this lecture we formulate the Maxwell equations, ...
