Electrodynamics in flat spacetime of six dimensions

Abstract

We consider the dynamics of a classical charge in flat spacetime of six dimensions. The mass shell relation of a free charge admits nonlinear oscillations. Having analyzed the problem of on eigenvalues and eigenvectors of Faraday tensor, we establish the algebraic structure of electromagnetic field in 6D. We elaborate the classification scheme based on three field's invariants. Using the basic algebraic properties of the electromagnetic field tensor we analyze the motion of a charge in constant electromagnetic field. Its world line is a combination of hyperbolic and circular orbits which lie in three mutually orthogonal sheets of two dimensions. Within the braneworld scenario, we project the theory on the de Sitter space of four dimensions. Actually, as it turns out, spins of elementary particles themselves are manifestations of extra dimensions.
