The generalized Maxwell equations with arbitrary gauge parameter are considered in the $11\times 11$-matrix form. The gauge invariance of such a model is broken due to the presence of a scalar field. The canonical and symmetrical Belinfante…
The generalized Cauchy-Riemann equations (GCRE) in biquaternion algebra appear to be Lorentz-invariant. The Laplace equation is in this case replaced by a nonlinear (complexified) eikonal equation. GCRE contain the 2-spinor and the gauge…
