TLDR
In this article, the authors generalize the Maxwell equations in terms of four-potentials for both ordinary and faster-than-light charges, and give a physical meaning to the complex electromagnetic fourpotential.Abstract:
Within « extended relativity » we generalize the Maxwell equations in terms of four-potentials for both ordinary and faster-than-light charges. We succeed in giving a physical meaning to the complex electromagnetic four-potential (and to complex electromagnetic four-current, tensor and field), and in giving a new interpretation to the Cabibbo-Ferrari relation for magnetic monopoles.read more

Dual electromagnetism: Helicity, spin, momentum, and angular momentum
TL;DR: The dual symmetry between electric and magnetic fields is an important intrinsic property of Maxwell equations in free space as mentioned in this paper, which underlies the conservation of optical helicity and is closely related to the separation of spin and orbital degrees of freedom of light.
Journal ArticleDOI
Classical tachyons and possible applications
TL;DR: In this article, it was shown that special relativity can be given a form such to describe both particles and antiparticles, even without tachyons, and all the common causality problems are thoroughly solved on the basis of tachyon kinematics.
Journal ArticleDOI
On the shape of tachyons
TL;DR: In this paper, a Superluminal particle, which in its own rest frame is spherical or ellipsoidal (and with an infinite lifetime), would appear to a laboratory frame as occupying the whole region of space bound by a double cone and a two-sheeted hyperboloid.
Journal ArticleDOI
Spacetime algebra as a powerful tool for electromagnetism
TL;DR: In this article, the authors present a comprehensive introduction to spacetime algebra that emphasizes its practicality and power as a tool for the study of electromagnetism, with a particular focus on its intrinsic (and often overlooked) complex structure.
Journal ArticleDOI
Are muon neutrinos faster-than-light particles?☆
TL;DR: In this article, some experimental predictions are added that could be tested, especially in connection with neutrino oscillations, and they are complemented from the theoretical point of view.

Vortex Line Models for Dual Strings
Holger Bech Nielsen,Poul Olesen +1 more
TL;DR: In this paper, it was shown that a Higgs type of Lagrangian allows for vortex-line solutions, in analogy with the vortex lines in a type II superconductor.
Journal ArticleDOI
The Theory of magnetic poles
TL;DR: In this paper, a general theory of charged particles and poles in interaction through the medium of the electromagnetic field was proposed, where each pole is at the end of an observable string, which is the line along which the electromagnetic potentials are singular, and introducing dynamical coordinates and momenta to describe the motion of the strings.

Quantum electrodynamics with dirac monopoles
N. Cabibbo,E. Ferrari +1 more
TL;DR: In this paper, a quantized theory for the interactions of the electromagnetic field with magnetic monopoles and electrically charged particles is developed, without making use of potentials, and the internal consistency of the theory requires the fulfillment of the Dirac condition (that the magnetic charge of the monopoles be equal to 2/ pi n/e, where n is an integer).
Journal ArticleDOI
Classical theory of tachyons (Special relativity extended to superluminal frames and objects)
TL;DR: In this article, a logical introduction to superluminal reference frames is given, along with a group of generalized relativistic Lorentz transformations (GLT) elements.
Journal ArticleDOI
Dual-symmetric theory of hadrons.—I
TL;DR: In this paper, a theory of mesons is proposed based on the experimentally observed linear level spacing of hadron excitations, and the theory satisfies relativistic invariance, crossing symmetry and a generalization of duality which is called dual-symmetry.
