Classical And Quantum Electrodynamics And The B3 Field

This book was released on 2001-05-11 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 field theory based on the emergence of the fundamental magnetizing field of radiation, the B(3) field.
