Instantaneous fields in classical electrodynamics
– In this paper we express the retarded fields of Maxwell’s theory in terms of the instantaneous fields of a Galilei-invariant electromagnetic and we find the vector function χL whose spatial and temporal derivatives transform the Euclidean fields into the retarded ones. We conclude that the instantaneous fields can formally be introduced as unphysical objects into classical electrodynamics whi...
متن کاملPrimordial magnetic fields and nonlinear electrodynamics
The creation of large scale magnetic fields is studied in an inflationary universe where electrodynamics is assumed to be nonlinear. After inflation ends electrodynamics becomes linear and thus the description of reheating and the subsequent radiation dominated stage are unaltered. The nonlinear regime of electrodynamics is described by lagrangians having a power law dependence on one of the in...
متن کاملScalar electrodynamics and primordial magnetic fields.
A primordial magnetic field may be generated during an inflationary period if conformal invariance is broken. We reexamine and generalize previous results about the magnetic field produced by couplings of the form RFμνF μν . We show that the amplitude of the magnetic field depends strongly on n. For adequate values of n the field produced can serve as seed for galactic magnetic fields. We also ...

متن کاملA Note on Polarization Vectors in Quantum Electrodynamics
A photon of momentum k can have only two polarization states, not three. Equivalently, one can say that the magnetic vector potential A must be divergence free in the Coulomb gauge. These facts are normally taken into account in QED by introducing two polarization vectors ελ(k) with λ ∈ {1, 2}, which are orthogonal to the wave-vector k. These vectors must be very discontinuous functions of k an...
