On the physical interpretation of singularities in Lanczos-Newman electrodynamics

Abstract

We discuss the physical nature of elementary singularities arising in the complexified Maxwell field extended into complex spacetime, i.e., in Lanczos-Newman electrodynamics, which may provide a possible link between elementary particle physics and general relativity theory. We show that the translation of the world-line of a bare (e.g., spinless) electric-monopole singularity into imaginary space is adding a magnetic-dimonopole component to it, so that it can be interpreted as a pseudoscalar pion-proton interaction current, consistent which both charge-independent meson theory and zero-order quantum chromodynamics. On the other hand, the interaction current of an electric-monopole intrinsic-magnetic-dipole singularity characteristic of a Dirac electron is obtained by another operation on the world-line, which however does not seem to have a simple geometric interpretation. Nevertheless, both operations can be given a covariant interpretation, which shows that the corresponding interactions necessarily arise on an equal footing, and therefore provides a connection between elementary particles and singularities in general relativity.
