Previously we conjectured that extremely high Electromagnetic (EM) fields in a vacuum generate a gravitational field that causes Maxwell's equations to no longer be linear. This results in a "4-force" in the field configuration space, also…
It is considered a mechanism of dynamical symmetry breaking for extended Ue(1)xUg(1) containing, one vector gauge field 'A' (photon) and one pseudo-vector gauge field 'C' (pseudo-photon). By choosing a particular solution of the equations…
The analysis of the EM radiation from a single charge shows that the radiated power depends on the retarded acceleration of the charge. Therefore, for consistency, an accelerated charge, free from the influence of external forces, should…
That the speed of light is a universal constant is a logical consequence of Maxwell's equations. Here we show the converse is also true. Electromagnetism (EM) and electrodynamics (ED), in all details, can be derived from two simple…
In the classical vacuum Maxwell-Lorentz theory the self-force of a charged point particle is infinite. This makes classical mass renormalization necessary and, in the special relativistic domain, leads to the Abraham-Lorentz-Dirac equation…
Motivated by quantum mechanical considerations we earlier suggested an alternative action for discretised quantum gravity which has a dimension of length. It is the so called "linear" action. The proposed action is a "square root" of the…
It is suggested that an understanding of blackbody radiation within classical physics requires the presence of classical electromagnetic zero-point radiation, the restriction to relativistic (Coulomb) scattering systems, and the use of…
It has been known for over 100 years that there is a discrepancy between Maxwell's electrodynamics and the idea of a classical electron as the ``atom'' of electricity. This incompatibility is known under the terms 4/3 problem of the…
Here we comment on the paper by Arthur D. Yaghjian, Phys. Rev. E 78, 046606 (2008) (arXiv:0805.0142). The author provides an equation of motion for a point charged particle in a certain regime of system parameters (on the other hand,…
The cosmological constant is the most economical candidate for dark energy. No other approach really alleviates the difficulties faced by the cosmological constant because, in all other attempts to model the dark energy, one still has to…
In this letter we introduce the noncommutative geometry into the standard Einstein-Hilbert-Maxwell action via the $\partial_t\wedge\partial_\varphi$ Drinfeld twist and solve the equation of motion pertubatively in the expansion of the…
We study the classical electrodynamics of extended bodies. Currently, there is no self-consistent dynamical theory of such bodies in the literature. Electromagnetic energy-momentum is not conserved in the presence of charge and some…
A fundamental result of classical electromagnetism is that Maxwell's equations imply that electric charge is locally conserved. Here we show the converse: Local charge conservation implies the local existence of fields satisfying Maxwell's…
We consider a model of topological solitons where charged particles have finite mass and the electric charge is quantised already at the classical level. In the electrodynamic limit, which physically corresponds to electrodynamics of…
This paper is devoted to presenting a rigorous mathematical derivation for the classical phenomenon in Maxwell's theory that a charged particle moves along a straight line in a constant electromagnetic field if the initial velocity is…
Continuum electrodynamics is an axiomatic formal theory based on the macroscopic Maxwell equations and the constitutive relations. We apply the formal theory to a thermodynamically closed system consisting of an antireflection coated block…
The quantum mechanical many-body problem is rarely analytically solvable. One notable exception is the case of two electrons interacting via a Coulomb potential in a uniform magnetic field. The motion is confined to a two-dimensional plane,…
A fixed electric charge is an electric current relative to a moving magnetic field, so that it is subjected to the force of the moving magnetic field. This means that not only time-varying magnetic field produces electric field, but moving…
In an exact quantum-mechanical framework, we show that expectation values of the second-quantized electro-magnetic fields in the Coulomb gauge, and in the presence of classical sources, automatically lead to causal and retarded…
We describe the potential produced by a point electric charge placed into a constant magnetic field, so strong that the electron Larmour length is much shorter than its Compton length. The standard Coulomb law is modified due to the vacuum…
