Maxwell Definition and 505 Threads

Ghislaine Noelle Marion Maxwell ( ghee-LAYN, -⁠LEN; born 25 December 1961) is a British socialite known for her association with financier and convicted sex offender Jeffrey Epstein. She worked for her father, the publishing tycoon Robert Maxwell, until his death in 1991, when she moved to the United States and became a close associate of Epstein. Maxwell founded a non-profit group for the protection of oceans, The TerraMar Project, in 2012. The organisation announced cessation of operations on 12 July 2019, a week after the sex trafficking charges brought by New York federal prosecutors against Epstein became public.In 2020, Maxwell was charged by the US federal government with the crimes of enticement of minors and sex trafficking of underage girls. The US Virgin Islands Department of Justice announced on 10 July 2020 that Maxwell was also under investigation in the Caribbean territory.

    Origin of the Maxwell energy-momentum tensor?

    Electrodynamics force is f_i=F_{ik}j^k=F_{ik}\partial_j F^{jk}. I claim that the only way to obtain the Maxwell energy-momentum tensor T_i^j=-F_{ik}F^{jk}+\delta_i^jF_{kl}F^{kl}/4 is to write the force as a divergence: f_i=-\partial_jT_i^j.

    Boundary condition for Maxwell equations

    It's obvious that if Maxwell equations are fulfilled by some E(x,y,z,t) and B(x,y,z,t), they are also fullfiled by E(x,y,z,t)+ E_0 and B(x,y,z,t)+B_0, where E_0 and B_0 are constants. This freedom has physical significance as it changes the Lorentz force which act on a charge. It...
