Requiring covariance of Maxwell's equations without {\it a priori} imposing charge invariance allows for both spin-1 and spin-1/2 transformations of the complete Maxwell field and current. The spin-1/2 case yields new transformation rules,…
We show that the Gersten derivation of Maxwell equations can be generalized. It actually leads to additional solutions of `S=1 equations'. They follow directly from previous considerations by Majorana, Oppenheimer, Weinberg and Ogievetskii…
