Electromagnetic Waves in the De Sitter Space
Abstract
5-Dimensional wave equation for a massive particle of spin 1 in the background of de Sitter space-time model is solved in static coordinates. The spherical 5-dimensional vectors of three types, are constructed. In massless case they give electromagnetic wave solutions, obeying the Lorentz condition. 5-form of equations in massless case is used to produce recipe to build electromagnetic wave solutions of the types ; the first is trivial and can be removed by a gauge ransformation. The recipe is specified to produce spherical solutions in static coordinates.
