Quantization of the Classical Maxwell-Nordström Fields
نویسنده
چکیده
The classical electromagnetic and gravitomagnetic fields in the vacuum, in (3 + 2) dimensions, described by the Maxwell-Nordström equations, are quantized. These equations are rederived from the field tensor which follows from a fivedimensional form of the Dirac equation. The electromagnetic field depends on the customary time t, and the hypothetical gravitomagnetic field depends on the second time variable u. The total field energy is identified with the component T44 of the fivedimensional energy-stress tensor of the electromagnetic and gravitomagnetic fields. In the ground state, the electromagnetic field and the gravitomagnetic field energies cancel out. The quanta of the gravitomagnetic field have spin 1.

TGD Based View about Classical Fields in Relation to Consciousness Theory and Quantum Biology
In TGD Universe gauge fields are replaced with topological field quanta. Examples are topological light rays, magnetic/electric flux tubes and sheets, and flux quanta carrying both magnetic and electric fields. Flux quanta form a fractal hierarchy in the sense that there are flux quanta inside flux quanta. It is natural to assume quantization of Kähler magnetic flux. Braiding and reconnection a...
متن کاملDirac’s Quantization of Maxwell’s Theory on Non-commutative Spaces
Dirac’s quantization of the Maxwell theory on non-commutative spaces has been considered. First class constraints were found which are the same as in classical electrodynamics. The gauge covariant quantization of the non-linear equations of electromagnetic fields on non-commutative spaces were studied. We have found the extended Hamiltonian which leads to equations of motion in the most general...
متن کاملThree-dimensional quantization of the electromagnetic field in dispersive and absorbing inhomogeneous dielectrics
A quantization scheme for the phenomenological Maxwell theory of the full electromagnetic field in an inhomogeneous three-dimensional, dispersive and absorbing dielectric medium is developed. The classical Maxwell equations with spatially varying and Kramers–Kronig consistent permittivity are regarded as operator-valued field equations, introducing additional currentand charge-density operator ...
متن کاملOn the W - geometrical origins of massless field equations and gauge invariance
We show how to obtain all covariant field equations for massless particles of arbitrary integer, or half-integer, helicity in four dimensions from the quantization of the rigid particle, whose action is given by the integrated extrinsic curvature of its worldline, i.e. S = α ∫ dsκ. This geometrical particle system possesses one extra gauge invariance besides reparametrizations, and the full gau...

The present article summarizes the work of the papers [1] dealing with the quantization of pure gravity and gravity coupled to a Maxwell field and a cosmological constant in presence of spherical symmetry. Let us stress the following : the motivation for this project was not to quantize a black hole. Rather, we regard the present model as an interesting testing ground for the quantization of fu...
