The electromagnetic field can be expressed in terms of two complex potentials $ \alpha, \beta ,$ which are related to the Debye potentials. The evolution equations for these potentials are derived, which are separable either in parabolic…
Three new models with V-shaped field potentials $U$ are considered: a complex scalar field $X$ in 1+1 dimensions with $U(X)= |X|$, a real scalar field $\Phi$ in 2+1 dimensions with $U(\Phi) = |\Phi|$, and a real scalar field $\phi$ in 1+1…
Following Kottler, \'E.Cartan, and van Dantzig, we formulate the Maxwell equations in a metric independent form in terms of the field strength $F=(E,B)$ and the excitation $H=({\cal D}, {\cal H})$. We assume a linear constitutive law…

Sources of long wavelength radiation are naturally described by an effective field theory (EFT) which takes the form of a multipole expansion. Its action is given by a derivative expansion where higher order terms are suppressed by powers…
