Topology, nonlocality and duality in classical electrodynamics

José A. Heras, Ricardo Heras

We have recently (Heras et al. in Eur. Phys. J. Plus 136:847, 2021) argued that classical electrodynamics can predict nonlocal effects by showing an example of a topological and no…

A note on the relativistic temperature

José A. Heras, María G. Osorno

We show that the largely debated Planck-Einstein and Ott-Arzelies relativistic transformations of temperature do not satisfy the closure group property that two successive temperat…

Can classical electrodynamics predict nonlocal effects?

José A. Heras, Ricardo Heras

Classical electrodynamics is a local theory describing local interactions between charges and electromagnetic fields and therefore one would not expect that this theory could predi…

Helmholtz's theorem for two retarded fields and its application to Maxwell's equations

José A. Heras, Ricardo Heras

An extension of the Helmholtz theorem is proved, which states that two retarded vector fields and satisfying appropriate initial and boundary conditions are…

On Feynman's handwritten notes on electromagnetism and the idea of introducing potentials before fields

José A. Heras, Ricardo Heras

In his recently discovered handwritten notes on "An alternate way to handle electrodynamics" dated on 1963, Richard P. Feynman speculated with the idea of getting the inhomogeneous…

An axiomatic approach to Maxwell's equations

José A. Heras

This paper suggests an axiomatic approach to Maxwell's equations. The basis of this approach is a theorem formulated for two sets of functions localized in space and time. If each…
