چکیده
Maxwell’s equations for the time-dependent electromagnetic field in a homogeneous chiral medium are reduced to a single quaternionic equation. Its fundamental solution satisfying the causality principle is obtained which allows us to solve the time-dependent chiral Maxwell system with sources.

Quaternionic equation for electromagnetic fields in inhomogeneous media
We show that the Maxwell equations for arbitrary inhomogeneous media are equivalent to a single quaternionic equation which can be considered as a generalization of the Vekua equation for generalized analytic functions.
متن کاملElectro-magneto-hydrodynamics Flows of Burgers' Fluids in Cylindrical Domains with Time Exponential Memory
This paper investigates the axial unsteady flow of a generalized Burgers’ fluid with fractional constitutive equation in a circular micro-tube, in presence of a time-dependent pressure gradient and an electric field parallel to flow direction and a magnetic field perpendicular on the flow direction. The mathematical model used in this work is based on a time-nonlocal constitutive equation for s...
متن کاملChiral Maxwell’s Equations as Two Spinor System: Dirac and Majorana Neutrino
This work clarifies the relation between Maxwell, Dirac and Majorana neutrino equations presenting an original way to derive the Dirac and neutrino equation from the chiral electrodynamics leading, perhaps, to novel conception in the mass generation by electromagnetic fields. In the present article, it is shown that Maxwell equations can be written in the same form as the two components Dirac a...
متن کاملOn the relation between the Maxwell system and the Dirac equation
The relation between the two most important in mathematical physics first order systems of partial differential equations is among those topics which attract attention because of their general, even philosophical significance but at the same time do not offer much for the solution of particular problems concerning physical models. The Maxwell equations can be represented in a Dirac like form in...
متن کاملPlane Wave Reflection and Transmission from Uni- and Bi-Axial Chiral Slabs
In this paper, the propagation of electromagnetic waves through an infinite slab of uni- or bi- axial chiral medium is analytically formulated for an arbitrary incidence using 4×4 matrix method. In this powerful method, a state vector differential equation is extracted whose solution is given in terms of a transition matrix relating the tangential components of electric and magnetic fields at t...
