In this paper, we discuss Galilean relativistic Maxwell theory in detail. We first provide a set of mapping relations, derived systematically, that connect the covariant and contravariant vectors in the Lorentz relativistic and Galilean…

We discuss under what conditions the duality between electric and magnetic fields is a valid symmetry of macroscopic quantum electrodynamics. It is shown that Maxwell's equations in the absence of free charges satisfy duality invariance on…

We study the action and the dynamics of a relativistic particle, uncharged or charged, in multiscale spacetimes. Invariance under reparametrizations and Poincar\'e symmetries uniquely determine the action and the line element to be the…

The effective equations of motion for a point charged particle taking account of radiation reaction are considered in various space-time dimensions. The divergencies steaming from the pointness of the particle are studied and the effective…

Historically Gordon decomposition of Dirac current played an important role in the interpretation of Dirac equation. We revisit it to understand the correspondence between Maxwell-Dirac and Maxwell-Lorentz theories. Arguments are presented…

The physical essence of the non-relativistic limit, from the relativistic Vlasov-Maxwell-Landau system to the Vlasov-Poisson-Landau system, lies in the transition from finite-speed electromagnetic waves to instantaneous Coulomb…

For a certain example of a "doubly special relativity theory" the modified space-time Lorentz transformations are obtained from momentum space transformations by using canonical methods. In the sequel an energy-momentum dependent space-time…

We propose a solution to the problem of time for systems with a single global Hamiltonian constraint. Our solution stems from the observation that, for these theories, conventional gauge theory methods fail to capture the full classical…

We put forward a new view of relativity theory that makes the existence of a flow of time compatible with the four-dimensional block universe. To this end, we apply the creation-discovery view elaborated for quantum mechanics to relativity…

Based on Lorentz invariance and Born reciprocity invariance, the canonical quantization of Special Relativity (SR) is shown to provide a unified origin for: i) the complex vector space formulation of Quantum Mechanics (QM); ii) the momentum…
