It is common knowledge that Maxwell's electromagnetic equations are invariant under relativistic transformations. However the relativistic invariance of Maxwell's equations has certain heretofore over-looked peculiarities. These peculiarities point out to the need of reexamining the physical significance of some basic electromagnetic formulas and equations.

A new perspective on relativistic transformation for Maxwell's equations of electrodynamics
A new scheme for relativistic transformation of the electromagnetic fields is formulated through relativistic transformation in the wavevector space, instead of the space–time space. Maxwell's… Expand

Non-Abelian gauge theory from the Poisson bracket
The Hamiltonian of a nonrelativistic particle coupled to non-Abelian gauge fields is defined to construct a non-Abelian gauge theory. The Hamiltonian which includes isospin as a dynamical variable ...
An Unexpected Controversy between Special Relativity and General Relativity
Special Relativity Theory (SRT) is considered to be very compatible with classical electrodynamics. Nonetheless, sometimes its implementation in the realm of electromagnetism leads to rather strange… Expand
