A Simplified Form of the Relativistic Electromagnetic Equations

NW Taylor · Australian Journal of Scientific Research Series A Physical Sciences · 1952

It is shown how Maxwell's electromagnetic equations in General Relativity may be expressed in the form of a single four-vector density equation, in which the field tensor has only three distinct complex components. The number of equations is reduced, but all the usual classical formulae may be obtained by separating the real and imaginary parts.
