Rearranging the six-dimensional phase space of particles in plasma can release energy. The rearrangement may happen through the application of electric and magnetic fields, subject to various constraints. The maximum energy that can be…
We consider whether local and causal non-conservation of energy may occur in generally covariant theories with long-ranged fields (analogs of Newton's gravity) whose source is energy--momentum. We find that such a possibility exists in…
It is well understood that various alternatives are available within EM theory for the definitions of energy density, momentum transfer, EM stress-energy tensor, and so forth. Although the various options are all compatible with the basic…
