The Lorenz gauge and the Coulomb gauge are in some sense the extremes in behavior of the scalar potential. In the one the effects of a source point propagate with the speed c; in the other the propagation is at infinite speed. But there is no reason for a restriction to such limiting cases. We define the velocity gauge ( v-gauge for short and actually a class of gauges) to be one in which the speed of propagation for the scalar potential is v, an arbitrary speed relative to c. The velocity gauge has been discussed in classical electrodynamics by Yang, Brown and Crothers, and Drury, and in quantum electrodynamics by Baxter,18 with the names " - Lorentz gauge," and "velocity gauge." Brown and Crothers are most explicit; Drury discusses the equations but does not solve them. http://arxiv.org/abs/physics/0204034 Sue... |
