Scalar Pre-potentials for Spinor and Tensor Fields on Spacetime
Robin W. Tucker, Timothy J. Walton
We review a technique for solving a class of classical linear partial differential systems of relevance to physics in Minkowski spacetime. All the equations are amenable to analysi…
A new paradigm for the dynamics of the early Universe
Robin W. Tucker, Timothy J. Walton, Manuel Arrayás +1
This paper invokes a new mechanism for reducing a coupled system of fields (including Einstein's equations without a cosmological constant) to equations that possess solutions exhi…
Chirality in Gravitational and Electromagnetic Interactions with Matter
Robin W. Tucker, Timothy J. Walton
It has been suggested that single and double jets observed emanating from certain astrophysical objects may have a purely gravitational origin. We discuss new classes of pulsed gra…
Extended Particles and the Exterior Calculus
R. W. Tucker
These notes were delivered as a series of NIMROD lectures at the Rutherford Appleton Laboratory by the author in February 1976 (RL-76-022). The purpose of these lectures was primar…
Classical Dynamics of Free Electromagnetic Laser Pulses
S. Goto, R. W. Tucker, T. J. Walton
We discuss a class of exact finite energy solutions to the vacuum source-free Maxwell field equations as models for multi- and single cycle laser pulses in classical interaction wi…
On the self-force in Bopp-Podolsky electrodynamics
Jonathan Gratus, Volker Perlick, Robin W. Tucker
In the classical vacuum Maxwell-Lorentz theory the self-force of a charged point particle is infinite. This makes classical mass renormalization necessary and, in the special relat…
