Complex electromagnetic four-potential and the cabibbo-ferrari relation for magnetic monopoles

Комплексный злектромагнитный четырехмерный потенциал и соотнощение Кабиббо-Феррари для магнитных монополей

  • Published:
Il Nuovo Cimento A (1965-1970)

Summary

Within « extended relativity » we generalize the Maxwell equations in terms of four-potentials for both ordinary and faster-than-light charges. We succeed in giving a physical meaning to the complex electromagnetic four-potential (and to complex electromagnetic four-current, tensor and field), and in giving a new interpretation to the Cabibbo-Ferrari relation for magnetic monopoles.

Riassunto

Nell’ambito della «relatività estesa», si generalizzano le equazioni di Maxwell per cariche sia ordinarie sia più veloci della luce,partendo dai tetra-potenziali elettromagnetici. Si riesce a dare significato fisico a un tetra-potenziale complesso (e a una tetracorrente, un tensore, e un campocomplessi), e a dare una nuova interpretazione della relazione di Cabibbo e Ferrari per i monopoli magnetici.

Реэюме

В рамках « протяженной относительности » мы обобшаем уравнения Максвелла в терминах четырехмерных потенциалов для случая обычных эарядов и для случая эарядов, движушихся быстрее скорости света. В зтой работе мы обсуждаем фиэический смысл комплексного злектромагнитного четырехмерного потенциала. Мы предлагаем новую интерпретацию соотнощения Кабиббо-Феррари для магнитных монополей
