A New Comment on Dyson's Exposition of Feynman's Proof of Maxwell Equations

摘要

A paper by Dyson, published nearly two decades ago, describing Feynman's proof of Maxwell equations, has generated many comments, analysis, discussions and generalizations of the proof. Feynman's derivation is assumed to be based on two main sets of equations. One is supposed to be the second law of Newton and the other a set of basic commutation relations from quantum physics.
