In theoretical physics, p-form electrodynamics is a generalization of Maxwell's theory of electromagnetism. ==Ordinary (viz. one-form) Abelian electrodynamics== We have a one-form A, a gauge symmetry : where α is any arbitrary fixed 0-form and d is the exterior derivative, and a gauge-invariant vector current J with density 1 satisfying the continuity equation : where * is the Hodge dual. Alternatively, we may express J as a (''d'' − 1)-closed form, but we do not consider that case here. F is a gauge invariant 2-form defined as the exterior derivative . A satisfies the equation of motion : (this equation obviously implies the continuity equation). This can be derived from the action : where M is the spacetime manifold. 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア(Wikipedia)』 ■ウィキペディアで「P-form electrodynamics」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
