五维电磁学

Five-dimensional electromagnetism

D. H. Delphenich

摘要:

将通常的Minkowski空间中的电磁学预度量麦克斯韦方程组推广到五维,并利用最简单的电磁本构关系,由此得到线性五维电磁波方程。讨论了五维平面波的色散律在决定四维Minkowski空间度规到五维的最适当的扩展中的作用。强调了五维色散定律既包括无质量波又包括有质量波的事实,以及通过分离第五坐标可以得到Klein-Gordon方程或Proca方程的事实。

英文摘要:

The usual pre-metric Maxwell equations of electromagnetism in Minkowski space are extended to five dimensions, and the equations of linear five-dimensional electromagnetic waves are obtained from them by using the simplest electromagnetic constitutive law. The role of the dispersion law for five-dimensional plane waves in dictating the most appropriate extension of the four-dimensional Minkowski space metric to the five-dimensional one is discussed. The fact that the five-dimensional dispersion law includes both massless waves and massive ones is emphasized, as well as the fact that one can obtain the Klein-Gordon equation or the Proca equation by separating the fifth coordinate.
