On the representation of the Maxwell Heaviside equations in terms of the Barut field four vector

摘要

It is shown that the Maxwell Heaviside equations can be written simply in terms of a field four vector G(mu) = (0, cB + iE), where B is magnetic flux density and E is electric field strength. The method given is much simpler that than used by Barut [1] in expressing the Maxwell Heaviside equations as neutrino equations. Under Lorentz transformation G(mu) transforms as a four vector, leading to novel interpretation. The field four vector G(mu) leads directly to cyclical relations between magnetic fields in the vacuum. [References: 13]
