Electromagnetic Field Tensor and Lorentz Force as Consequence of the Geometry of Minkowskian Spacetime

چکیده
We show that the electromagnetic field tensor and the Lorentz Force are both a natural consequence of the geometric structure of Minkowskian space, being related to infinitesimal boost and rotations in spacetime. The longstanding issue about the apparent empirical origin of the Lorentz Force is clarified.

Electromagnetic Field Tensor and Lorentz Force as Consequence of the Geometry of Minkowskian Spacetime
It is a well known fact that the electromagnetic force acting on a charged particle cannot be obtained from Maxwell Equations having, ultimately, an empirical basis (at least from a classical standpoint). This problem have been around for many years, leaving the electromagnetic field (which we have always considered our better understood part of Physics) with an apparent, and rather curious, la...
متن کاملSpacetimes admitting quasi-conformal curvature tensor
The object of the present paper is to study spacetimes admitting quasi-conformal curvature tensor. At first we prove that a quasi-conformally flat spacetime is Einstein and hence it is of constant curvature and the energy momentum tensor of such a spacetime satisfying Einstein's field equation with cosmological constant is covariant constant. Next, we prove that if the perfect flui...
متن کاملOn a Four Dimensional Unified Field Theory
The Gravitational, Electromagnetic, Weak & the Strong force are here brought together under a single roof via an extension of Reimann geometry to a new geometry (coined Reimann-Hilbert Space); that unlike Reimann geometry, preserves both the length and the angle of a vector under parallel transport. The affine connection of this new geometry – the Reimann-Hilbert Space, is a tensor and this lea...
متن کاملRay-tracing and Interferometry in Schwarzschild Geometry
Here, we investigate the possible optical anisotropy of vacuum due to gravitational field. In doing this, we provide sufficient evidence from direct coordinate integration of the null-geodesic equations obtained from the Lagrangian method, as well as ray-tracing equations obtained from the Plebanski’s equivalent medium theory. All calculations are done for the Schwarzschild geometry, which resu...
متن کاملPerturbative Approach to Calculating the Correlation Function of bi-isotropic Metamaterials
A bi-isotropic magneto-electric metamaterials is modeled by two independent reservoirs. The reservoirs contain a continuum of three dimensional harmonic oscillators, which describe polarizability and magnetizability of the medium. The paper aimed to investigate the effect of electromagnetic field on bi-isotropic. Starting with a total Lagrangian and using Euler-Lagrange equation, researcher cou...
