نویسنده
چکیده
A generalization of the classical electrodynamics for systems in absolute motion is presented using a possible alternative to the Lorentz transformation. The main hypothesis assumed in this work are: a) The inertial transformations relate two inertial frames: the privileged frame S and the moving frame S′ with velocity v with respect to S. b) The transformation of the fields from S to the moving frame S′ is given byH′ = a(H−v×D) and E′ = a(E+v×B) where a is a matrix whose elements depend of the absolute velocity of the system. c) The constitutive relations in the moving frame S′ are given by D′ = ǫE′, B ′ = μH′ and J′ = ηE′. It is found that Maxwell’s equations, which are transformed to the moving frame, take a new form depending on the absolute velocity of the system. Moreover, differing from classical electrodynamics, it is proved that the electrodynamics proposed explains satisfactorily the Wilson effect.

We investigate the electronic structure of the beryllium atom subjected to a strong magnetic field in the regime 0 ≤ γ ≤ 10 a.u. The ground as well as many excited states of spin singlet, triplet and quintet multiplicity covering the magnetic quantum numbers |M | = 0, 1, 3, 6 for both positive and negative z−parity are discussed and analyzed. Total and one-particle ionization energies are prese...

ar X iv :p hy si cs /0 60 70 59 v 1 7 Ju l 2 00 6 Abstract This paper presents theoretical results indicating that newly discovered nondiffracting beams we call X waves, can propagate in a confined space (wave guide) with specific quantized temporal frequencies. These results could have applications in nondispersive transmission of acoustic, electromagnetic (microwaves) and optical energy throu...

A general and rigorous method to deal with singularities at the origin of a polar coordinate system is presented. Its power derives from a clear distinction between the radial distance and the radial coordinate variable, which makes that all delta-functions and their derivatives are automatically generated, and insures that the Gauss theorem is correct for any distribution with a finite number ...

Experiments with myxobacterial aggregates reveal standing waves called rippling patterns. Here, these structures are modelled with a simple discrete model based on the interplay between migration and collisions of cells. Head-to-head collisions of cells result in cell reversals. To correctly reproduce the rippling patterns, a refractory phase after each cell reversal has to be assumed, during w...
