Electromagnetic Duality Based on Axiomatic Maxwell Equations
نویسنده
چکیده
No positive result has been obtained on the magnetic monopoles search. This allows to consider different theoretical approaches as the proposed in this paper, developed in the framework of the Einstein General Relativity. The properties of second rank skew-symmetrical fields are the basis of electromagnetic theories. In the space-time the Hodge duality of these fields is narrowly related with the rotations in the SO(2) group. An axiomatic approach to a dual electromagnetic theory is presented. The main result of this paper is that the stress-energy tensor can be decomposed on two parts: the parallel and the perpendicular. The parallel part is easily integrated on the Lagrangian approach, while some problems appears with the perpendicular part. A solution with the parallel part alone is found, it generates a non-standard model of magnetic monopoles neutral to the electric charges. Pacs: 03.50.De, 04.40.Nr, 14.80.Hv

The axiomatic structure of the electromagnetic theory is outlined. We will base classical electrodynamics on (1) electric charge conservation, (2) the Lorentz force, (3) magnetic flux conservation, and (4) on the Maxwell-Lorentz spacetime relations. This yields the Maxwell equations. The consequences will be drawn, inter alia, for the interpretation and the dimension of the electric and magneti...
متن کاملElectro - Magnetic Space - Time Duality for 2 + 1 D Stationary Classical Solutions
We extend a space-time duality suggested by Kogan for 2 + 1-dimensional static classical solutions of Einstein Maxwell Chern-Simons theories to stationary rotating space-times. We also extend the original duality to other possible dualities of the same kind that constitute a close duality web. In 3 + 1-dimensions these dualities are only possible for systems which exhibit non-projected cylindri...
متن کاملFrom Electromagnetic Duality to Extended Electrodynamics
This paper presents the transition from Classical Electrodynamics (CED) to Extended Electrodynamics (EED) from the electromagnetic duality point of view, and emphasizes the role of the canonical complex structure in R in, both, nonrelativistic and relativistic formulations of CED and EED. We begin with summarizing the motivations for passing to EED, as well as we motivate and outline the way to...
متن کاملElectric-magnetic Duality Rotations in Non-linear Electrodynamics
We show that there is a function of one variable’s worth of Lagrangians for a single Maxwell field coupled to gravity whose equations of motion admit electric-magnetic duality. Such Lagrangians are given by solutions of the Hamilton-Jacobi equation for timelike geodesics in Witten’s two-dimensional black hole. Among them are the Born-Infeld Lagrangian which arises in open string theory. We inve...
متن کاملOn the energy - momentum current of the electromagnetic field in a pre - metric axiomatic approach
We complete a metric-free axiomatic framework for electrodynamics by introducing the appropriate energy-momentum current Σα of the electromagnetic field. We start from the Lorentz force density and motivate the form of Σα. Then we postulate it (fourth axiom) and discuss its properties. In particular, it is found that Σα is traceless and invariant under an electric-magnetic reciprocity transform...
