The Dirac Field at the Future Conformal Singularity
Michael Ibison
We examine in detail the effect of the conformal factor associated with the Friedmann-Robertson-Walker spacetimes on the discrete symmetries usually present in the Dirac theory and…
Electrodynamics with a Future Conformal Horizon
Michael Ibison
We investigate the impact of singularities occurring at future times in solutions of the Friedmann equations expressed in conformal coordinates. We focus on the consequences of ext…
A New Case for Direct Action
M. Ibison
An obstacle to the development of direct action version of electromagnetism was that in the end it failed to fulfill its initial promise of avoiding the problem of infinite Coulomb…
Hamiltonian Cosmology
M. Ibison
The cosmological scale factor of the flat-space Robertson-Walker geometry is examined from a Hamiltonian perspective wherein is interpreted as an independent dynamica…
The reaction-free trajectories of a classical point charge
M. Ibison
It is well-known that a classical point charge in 1+1 D hyperbolic motion in space and time is reaction-free. But this is a special case of a larger set of reaction-free trajectori…
Are Advanced Potentials Anomalous?
M. Ibison
Advanced electromagnetic potentials are indigenous to the classical Maxwell theory. Generally however they are deemed undesirable and are forcibly excluded, destroying the theory's…
