Asymptotic structure of electrodynamics revisited
arXiv:1604.04170 · doi:10.1007/s11005-017-0948-9
Abstract
We point out that recently published analyses of null and timelike infinity and long-range structures in electrodynamics to large extent rediscover results present in literature. At the same time, some of the conclusions these recent works put forward may prove controversial. In view of these facts we find it desirable to revisit the analysis taken up more than two decades ago, starting from earlier works on null infinity by other authors.
