Abstract

It is well known that the Maxwell equations are connected to Minkowski space-time and to the Poincaré group. If we pass to the De Sitter universe with constant curvature, i.e., to the “projective relativity,” we must generalize the Maxwell equations in such a way to make them invariants for the Fantappié group. We thus obtain more general equations which can be interpreted as equations of magnetohydrodynamics and which reunite in a single theory electromagnetism and relativistic hydrodynamics.
