Discrete Symmetries of Off-Shell Electromagnetism
This paper discusses the discrete symmetries of off-shell electromagnetism, the Stueckelberg–Schrodinger relativistic quantum theory and its associated 5D local gauge theory. Seeking a dynamical…
Particles and events in classical off-shell electrodynamics
Despite the many successes of the relativistic quantum theory developed by Horwitz et al., certain difficulties persist in the associated covariant classical mechanics. In this paper, we explore…
Abraham-Lorentz-Dirac equation in 5D Stuekelberg electrodynamics
We derive the Abraham-Lorentz-Dirac (ALD) equation in the framework of the electrodynamic theory associated with Stueckelberg manifestly covariant canonical mechanics. In this framework, a particle…
On Feynman's Approach to the Foundations of Gauge Theory
In 1948, Feynman showed Dyson how the Lorentz force law and homogeneous Maxwell equations could be derived from commutation relations among Euclidean coordinates and velocities, without reference to…
On the definition and evolution of states in relativistic classical and quantum mechanics
Some of the problems associated with the construction of a manifestly covariant relativistic quantum theory are discussed. A resolution of this problem is given in terms of the off mass shell…
Eikonal approximation to 5D wave equations as geodesic motion in a curved 4D spacetime
We first derive the relation between the eikonal approximation to the Maxwell wave equations in an inhomogeneous anisotropic medium and geodesic motion in a three dimensional Riemannian manifold…
On the Form of Parametrized Gravitation in Flat Spacetime
In a framework describing manifestly covariant relativistic evolution using a scalar time τ, consistency demands that τ-dependent fields be used. In recent work by the authors, general features of a…
Variable mass theories in relativistic quantum mechanics as an explanation for anomalous low energy nuclear phenomena
A recent theoretical explanation for observed anomalous low energy nuclear phenomena which have puzzled physicists for many years is expanded on. Based on covariant relativistic quantum mechanics and…
Electrostatics in Stueckelberg-Horwitz electrodynamics
In this paper, we study fundamental aspects of electrostatics as a special case in Stueckelberg-Horwitz electromagnetic theory. In this theory, spacetime events xμ(τ) evolve in an unconstrained…
On Parametrized General Relativity
A physical framework has been proposed which describes manifestly covariant relativistic evolution using a scalar time τ. Studies in electromagnetism, measurement, and the nature of time have…

Off-shell electromagnetism in manifestly covariant relativistic quantum mechanics
Gauge invariance of a manifestly covariant relativistic quantum theory with evolution according to an invariant time τ implies the existence of five gauge compensation fields, which we shall call…
Particles vs. events: The concatenated structure of world lines in relativistic quantum mechanics
The dynamical equations of relativistic quantum mechanics prescribe the motion of wave packets for sets of events which trace out the world lines of the interacting particles. Electromagnetic theory…
