In general relativity, an inertial frame can only be established in a small region of spacetime, and locally inertial frames are mathematically represented by a tetrad field in gravity. The tetrad field is not unique due to the freedom to…
We investigate the coupling of the electromagnetic sources (charge and current densities) to the scalar and vector potentials in classical electrodynamics, using Green function techniques. As is well known, the scalar potential shows an…
The evolution equations of Einstein's theory and of Maxwell's theory---the latter used as a simple model to illustrate the former--- are written in gauge covariant first order symmetric hyperbolic form with only physically natural…
The Maxwell's electromagnetic equations are isomorphic to the motion equation of a linear elastic continuum which is hard to compression though liable to shear deformation. The Coulomb gauge expresses the medium incompressibility. The…
To study ``physical'' gauges such as the Coulomb, light-cone, axial or temporal gauge, we consider ``interpolating'' gauges which interpolate linearly between a covariant gauge, such as the Feynman or Landau gauge, and a physical gauge.…
In this paper we use the classical electrodynamics to show that the Lorenz gauge can be incompatible with some particular solutions of the d Alembert equations for electromagnetic potentials. In its turn, the d Alembert equations for the…
We give the results for all the one-loop propagators, including finite parts, in the Coulomb gauge. In finite parts we find new non-rational functions in addition to the single logarithms of the Feynman gauge. Of course, the two gauges must…
Using connection with quantum field theory, the infinitesimal covariant abelian gauge transformation laws of relativistic two-particle constraint theory wave functions and potentials are established and weak invariance of the corresponding…
Using generalized Landau gauge, we study the continuous change of gluon properties from the Landau gauge toward the Coulomb gauge in SU(3) lattice QCD. We investigate "instantaneous interquark potential", which is defined by the spatial…
The multipole expansion for electromagnetic radiation, valid for all wave-lengths and all distances from bounded sources, is presented in Lorentz gauge, rather than the usual Coulomb gauge. This gauge is likely to be preferred in…
Some mathematical inconsistencies in the conventional form of Maxwell's equations extended by Lorentz for a single charge system are discussed. To surmount these in framework of Maxwellian theory, a novel convection displacement current is…
Before a quantum-mechanical calculation involving electromagnetic interactions is performed, a choice must be made of the gauge to be used in expressing the potentials. If the calculation is done exactly, the observable results it predicts…
We demonstrate that certain gauge fixing functionals cannot be added to the action on backgrounds such as de Sitter in which a linearization instability is present. We also construct the field dependent gauge transformation which carries…
Further evidence is presented for the existence of a non-confining phase at weak coupling in SU(2) lattice gauge theory. Using Monte Carlo simulations with the standard Wilson action, gauge-invariant SO(3)-Z2 monopoles, which are…
An outline is given of how Jackson may have obtained the inhomogeneous wave equations for the auxiliary functions $\Psi$ and $\bf V$ in his influential 2002 AJP paper on the transformation from the Lorenz gauge to other electromagnetic…
In this paper, we consider the Maxwell-Klein-Gordon and Maxwell-Chern-Simons-Higgs systems in the temporal gauge. By using the fact that when the spatial gauge potentials are in the Coulomb gauge, their $\dot{H}^1$ norms can be controlled…
Accounting for all the relativistic effects, we have developed the fully nonlinear gauge-invariant formalism for describing the cosmological observables and presented the second-order perturbative expressions associated with light…
The Coulomb gauge has a long history and many uses. It is especially useful in bound state applications. An important feature of this gauge is that the matter fields have an infra-red finite propagator in an on-shell renormalisation scheme.…
We construct local, unitary gauge theories that violate Lorentz symmetry explicitly at high energies and are renormalizable by weighted power counting. They contain higher space derivatives, which improve the behavior of propagators at…
A parametrization of gauge fields on complex projective spaces of arbitrary dimension is given as a generalization of the two-dimensional case. Gauge transformations act homogeneously on the fields, facilitating a manifestly gauge-invariant…
