Sommario/riassunto

It is well known that classical electrodynamics is riddled with internal inconsistencies springing from the fact that it is a linear, Abelian theory in which the potentials are unphysical. This volume offers a self-consistent hypothesis which removes some of these problems, as well as builds a framework on which linear and nonlinear optics are treated as a non-Abelian gauge field theory based on the emergence of the fundamental magnetizing field of radiation, the B(3) field. <br><i>Contents:</i><ul><li>Interaction of Electromagnetic Radiation with One Fermion</li><li>The Field Equations of Cl
