The stress-energy distributional multipole for both uncharged and charged dust
Jonathan Gratus, Spyridon Talaganis, Willow Sparks
In this paper, we formulate the distributional uncharged and charged stress-energy tensors. These are integrals, along a worldline, of derivatives of the delta-function. These dist…
Temporary Singularities and Axions: an analytic solution that challenges charge conservation
Jonathan Gratus, Paul Kinsler, Martin W. McCall
We construct an analytic solution to Maxwell's equations that violates global charge conservation, by building on the possibilities demonstrated in [Foundations of Physics 49, 330…
The Distributional Stress-Energy Quadrupole
Jonathan Gratus, Paolo Pinto, Spyridon Talaganis
We investigate stress-energy tensors constructed from the delta function on a worldline. We concentrate on quadrupoles as they make an excellent model for the dominant source of gr…
Evaporating black-holes, wormholes, and vacuum polarisation: must they always conserve charge?
Jonathan Gratus, Paul Kinsler, Martin W. McCall
A careful examination of the fundamentals of electromagnetic theory shows that due to the underlying mathematical assumptions required for Stokes' Theorem, global charge conservati…
