Conclusions. 330 $aThe 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 solution 606 $aElectromagnetism 606 $aMatter 608 $aElectronic books. 615 0$aElectromagnetism. 615 0$aMatter. 676 $a530.14/1 700 $aFunaro$b Daniele$f1958-$053111 801 0$bMiAaPQ 801 1$bMiAaPQ 801 2$bMiAaPQ 906 $aBOOK 912 $a9910453096603321 996 $aElectromagnetism and the structure of matter$92296464 997 $aUNINA
