Gauge Invariance in Classical Electrodynamics 1

چکیده
RÉSUMÉ. Le concept de l’invariance de jauge dans l’électrodynamique classique suppose tacitement que les équations de Maxwell possèdent des solutions uniques. Mais en calculant le champ électromagnétique d’une particule en mouvement faisant usage de la jauge de Lorenz ainsi que de la jauge de Coulomb, et résolvant directement les équations des champs nous obtenons des solutions contradictoires. Nous concluons donc que l’hypothèse tacite de l’unicité de la solution n’est pas justifiée. La raison pour cette difficulté peut être attribuée aux équations d’onde inhomogènes qui connectent simultanément les champs propageants et leurs sources.

Mathematical Constraints on Gauge in Maxwellian Electrodynamics
The structure of classical electrodynamics based on the variational principle together with causality and spacetime homogeneity is analyzed. It is proved that in this case the 4-potentials are defined uniquely. On the other hand, the approach where Maxwell equations and the Lorentz law of force are regarded as cornerstones of the theory allows gauge transformations. For this reason, the two the...
متن کاملClassical Lattice Gauge Field with Hard Thermal Loops
We propose a formulation of gauge theories at finite temperature on a lattice in Minkowski space, including the effects of hard thermal loops on the dynamics of the long wavelength modes. Our approach is based on the dual classical limits of quantum fields as waves and particles in the infrared and ultraviolet limits, respectively, and exhibits manifest invariance under space-dependent lattice ...
متن کاملGauge Invariance on Bound State Energy Levels
In this paper the problem of the gauge in a bound state calculation is discussed. In particular, in order to verify the gauge invariance in the energy levels expansion, some set of gauge invariant contributions are given.

متن کاملNon-Abelian Gauge Invariance Notes
Introduction and Motivation Until now, all the theories that we have studied have been somewhat restricted to the ‘canonical.’ The Lagrangians of quantum electrodynamics, φ-theory, Yukawa theory, etc. have been the starting points for our development–while we have learned to interpret them, we have not yet developed adequate methods to build Lagrangians for new theories. On of the most importan...
متن کاملThe Particle as a Statistical Ensemble of Events in Stueckelberg-Horwitz-Piron Electrodynamics
Stueckelberg-Horwitz-Piron (SHP) electrodynamics formalizes the distinction between coordinate time (measured by laboratory clocks) and chronology (temporal ordering) by defining 4D spacetime events xμ as functions of an external evolution parameter τ. Classical spacetime events xμ(τ) evolve as τ grows monotonically, tracing out particle worldlines dynamically and inducing the five U(1) gauge p...
