Complex Form of Classical and Quantum Electrodynamics
arXiv: Mathematical Physics(2016)
Abstract
We consider a complex covariant form of the macroscopic Maxwell equations, in a moving medium or at rest, following the original ideas of Minkowski. A compact, Lorentz invariant, derivation of the energy-momentum tensor and the corresponding differential balance equations are given. Conservation laws and quantization of the electromagnetic field will be discussed in this covariant approach elsewhere.
