We derive the discretized Maxwell's equations using the discrete variational derivative method (DVDM), calculate the evolution equation of the constraint, and confirm that the equation is satisfied at the discrete level. Numerical…

It is pointed out that the usual derivation of the well-known Maxwell electromagnetic equations holds only for a medium at rest. A way in which the equations may be modified for the case when the mean flow of the medium is steady and…

A close examination of the Maxwell-Lorentz theory of electrodynamics reveals that polarization and magnetization of material media need not be treated as local averages over small volumes - volumes that nevertheless contain a large number…

Including torsion in the geometric framework of the Weyl-Dirac theory we build up an action integral, and obtain from it a gauge covariant (in the Weyl sense) general relativistic massive electrodynamics. Photons having an arbitrary mass,…

We show that a large class of null electromagnetic fields are immune to any modifications of Maxwell's equations in the form of arbitrary powers and derivatives of the field strength. These are thus exact solutions to virtually any…

The Klein-Gordon and Dirac equations are considered in a semi-infinite lab ($x > 0$) in the presence of background metrics $ds^2 =u^2(x) \eta_{\mu\nu} dx^\mu dx^\nu$ and $ds^2=-dt^2+u^2(x)\eta_{ij}dx^i dx^j$ with $u(x)=e^{\pm gx}$. These…

The Maxwell-Dirac equations in one space dimension are proved to be well posed in the charge class, that is, with $L^2$ data for the spinor. We also prove that this result is sharp, in the sense that well-posedness fails for spinor data in…
