Classical and Quantum Electrodynamics and the B(3) Field

Download or read book Classical and Quantum Electrodynamics and the B(3) Field written by Myron Wyn Evans and published by World Scientific. This book was released on 2001 with total page 473 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: It is well known that classical electrodynamics is riddled with internal inconsistencies springing from the fact that it is a linear, Abelian theory in which the potentials are unphysical. This volume offers a self-consistent hypothesis which removes some of these problems, as well as builds a framework on which linear and nonlinear optics are treated as a non-Abelian gauge held theory based on the emergence of the fundamental magnetizing field of radiation, the B(3) field. Part One deals with development of the basic theory at the undergraduate level; Part Two is a collection of invited articles in advanced electrodynamics.
