Book cover: Observers and Splitting Structures in Relativistic ElectrodynamicsObservers and Splitting Structures in Relativistic Electrodynamics
by - arXiv
We introduce a relativistic splitting structure as a means to map equations of electromagnetism from curved four-dimensional space-time to 3-dimensional observer's space. We focus on mathematical structures that are motivated by the physical theory.
