We show that the particle states of Maxwell's theory, in $D$ dimensions, can be represented in an infinite number of ways by using different gauge fields. Using this result we formulate the dynamics in terms of an infinite set of duality…
We discuss instantons on noncommutative four-dimensional Euclidean space. In commutative case one can consider instantons directly on Euclidean space, then we should restrict ourselves to the gauge fields that are gauge equivalent to the…
We regard a classical field as a medium and so the additional parameter, the velocity of a field,appears. If the one regard as a potential of same field then the self-energies of the fields became finite. Electromagnetic, mechanical,…

Asymptotic properties of classical field electrodynamics are considered. Special attention is paid to the long-range structure of the electromagnetic field. It is shown that conserved Poincare quantities may be expressed in terms of the…
Electromagnetic phenomena can be described by Maxwell equations written for the vectors of electric and magnetic field. Equivalently, electrodynamics can be reformulated in terms of an electromagnetic vector potential. We demonstrate that…
