Extended Einstein-Maxwell model
Abstract
A self-consistent extended Einstein-Maxwell model for relativistic non-stationary polarizable-magnetizable anisotropic media is presented. Based on the analogy with relativistic extended irreversible (transient) thermodynamics, the extended constitutive equations for the electrodynamics of continua are formulated phenomenologically, the convective derivatives of the first, second, etc. orders being taken into account. The master equations for the gravity field contain a modified effective (symmetric) stress-energy tensor of the electromagnetic field in a material medium, the use of this tensor being motivated both by historical analogies and direct variational procedure. By way of example we consider the exact solution of the extended Einstein-Maxwell model, describing the isotropic cosmological model with hidden non-vanishing electromagnetic field, electric polarization and magnetization.
