Conclusions.The classical theory of electromagnetism is entirely revised in this book by proposing a variant of Maxwell equations that allows solitonic solutions (photons). The Lagrangian is the standard one, but it is minimized on a constrained space that enforces the wave packets to follow the rules of geometrical optics. Exact solutions are explicitly shown; this opens a completely new perspective for the study of light wave phenomena. In the framework of general relativity, the equations are written in covariant form. A coupling with the metric is obtained through the Einstein equation, whose solutionElectromagnetismMatterElectronic books.Electromagnetism.Matter.530.14/1Funaro Daniele1958-53111MiAaPQMiAaPQMiAaPQBOOK9910453096603321Electromagnetism and the structure of matter2296464UNINA
