Two methods are explained to exactly solve Maxwell's equations where permittivity, permeability and conductivity may vary in space. In the constitutive relations, retardation is regarded. If the material properties depend but on one…
It is commonly observed that objects in a gravitational field experience a rate of acceleration that is independent of their mass and that, as a result, all massive objects with the same initial conditions follow the same trajectory. It is…

The dynamics of a gravitational wave propagating through a cosmic gauge field are dramatically different than in vacuum. We show that a gravitational wave acquires an effective mass, is birefringent, and its normal modes are a linear…
A four-vector field in flat space-time, satisfying a gauge-invariant set of second-order differential equations, is considered as a unified field. The model variational principle corresponds to the general covariance idea and gives rise to…
Maxwell matter waves emerge from a perspective, complementary to de Broglie's, that matter is fundamentally a wave phenomenon whose particle aspects are revealed by quantum mechanics. Their quantum mechanical description is derived through…

Black holes can be electromagnetically charged, or carry vector charge from new fundamental fields. Their response to small fluctuations is of paramount importance to study gravitational wave generation. However, the usual even and odd…
Cosmic-rays are charged particles moving in magnetic fields. They not only emit well-known synchrotron photons but also gravitational radiation. We clarify the characteristics of the gravitational wave signal in this specific situation and…
It is shown that the noncommutative Lorentz metric satisfies so-called nonpropagating waves. The long-range forces are obtained as a description of these wave motions. It leads to the natural introduction of the field values (group velocity…
The unexpected features of the two-stream instability in electrostatic quantum plasmas are interpreted in terms of the coupling of approximate fast and slow waves. This is accomplished thanks to the factorization of the dispersion relation…
I show that radiative space-times are not asymptotically flat; rather, the radiation field gives rise to holonomy at null infinity. (This was noted earlier, by Bramson.) This means that, when gravitational radiation is present,…
