1 Hertz potentials in curvilinear coordinates Jeff Bouas Texas A&M University July 9, 2010 Quantum Vacuum Workshop Jeff Bouas (Texas A&M University) Hertz potentials in curvilinear coordinates July 9, / 20

2 Purpose and Outline Purpose To describe any arbitrary electromagnetic field in a bounded geometry in terms of two scalar fields, and To define these fields such that the boundary conditions consist of at most first-derivatives of the fields. Outline 1 Review of Electromagnetism and Hertz Potentials in Vector Formalism 2 Overview of Differential Form Formalism 3 Formulation of Electromagnetism in Differential Form Formalism 4 Scalar Hertz Potential Examples Jeff Bouas (Texas A&M University) Hertz potentials in curvilinear coordinates July 9, / 20

3 Maxwell s Equations Vector Equations E = ρ (1) B te = j (2) B = 0 (3) tb + E = 0 (4) Constants For simplicity, take Potentials ɛ 0 = µ 0 = c = 1. (3) and (4) imply B = A (5) E = V t A (6) Charge Conservation Also note that (1) and (2) imply tρ + j = 0. Jeff Bouas (Texas A&M University) Hertz potentials in curvilinear coordinates July 9, / 20

4 Hertz Potentials Hertz Potentials V = Π e (7) A = t Πe + Π m (8) Lorenz Condition t V + A = 0 Inhomogeneous Maxwell Equations ( Π e ) = ρ (9) Definition = 2 t 2 ( Π m ) + t ( Π m ) = j (10) Jeff Bouas (Texas A&M University) Hertz potentials in curvilinear coordinates July 9, / 20

5 Hertz Potentials From here on, set ρ = 0, j = 0. Equations of Motion Π e = W + g + t G (11) Π m = t W w + G (12) The w and W terms come from (9) and (10) just as V and A came from (3) and (4). The g and G terms come from relaxing the Lorenz condition. Jeff Bouas (Texas A&M University) Hertz potentials in curvilinear coordinates July 9, / 20

6 Differential Geometry Let (x 0,..., x n 1 ) be the coordinate system on an n-dimensional manifold. Then we write vectors on that manifold as and 1-forms (or covectors) as v = v 0 x v n 1 x n 1, v = v 0 dx 0 + v n 1 dx n 1. Example For Minwoski space, we can write the electromagnetic potential A µ as the vector A = A µ x µ = V t + A x x + A y y + A z z (not to be confused with the 3-vector from before) or as the 1-form A = Vdt + A x dx + A y dy + A z dz. Jeff Bouas (Texas A&M University) Hertz potentials in curvilinear coordinates July 9, / 20

7 Differential Geometry Definition The wedge product of two forms, written f g, is the antisymmetrized tensor product. Example dx dy = dx dy dy dx dx dy dz = dx dy dz dx dz dy + dz dx dy +... Definition For a k-form of the form f = f α1 α k dx α 1 dx α k, define the differential of f as df = n 1 µ=0 f α1 α k x i dx µ dx α 1 dx α k. Jeff Bouas (Texas A&M University) Hertz potentials in curvilinear coordinates July 9, / 20

8 Differential Geometry Definition Let η 0 n be the volume form. For a k-form of the form f = f α1 α k dx α 1 dx α k, define the Hodge dual of f as f = f α1 α k η α 1 α k β1 β n k dx β 1 dx β n k. Definition Definition δ = d = dδ + δd = d d + d d Jeff Bouas (Texas A&M University) Hertz potentials in curvilinear coordinates July 9, / 20

9 Electromagnetism Revisited Maxwell s Equations Define F = E i dt dx i + B i (dt dx i ). Then (1) (4) become δf = J (13) df = 0 (14) Potentials (14) implies F = da (15) Lorenz Condition δa = 0 Relaxed Lorenz Condition δ(a + G) = 0 Hertz Potentials The relaxed Lorenz condition implies A = δπ G (16) Jeff Bouas (Texas A&M University) Hertz potentials in curvilinear coordinates July 9, / 20

10 Electromagnetism Revisited Since 0 = J = δf = δda = δd(δπ G) (17) = δ( Π dg), (18) we can write Equations of Motion Π = dg + δw. (19) Jeff Bouas (Texas A&M University) Hertz potentials in curvilinear coordinates July 9, / 20
