Abstract
By relying on a thread of essential insights and achievements by Schroedinger, Kursunoglu, Lichnerowicz, Hely and Borchsenius, sources are appended to all the field equations of Einstein’s Hermitian theory of relativity. From the equations and from the contracted Bianchi identities a sort of gravoelectrodynamics then appears, whose constitutive equation has a much wider scope than the one prevailing in Einstein-Maxwell theory. Now the electric and a magnetic four-current are no longer a physically wrong replica of each other, like it occurs in Maxwell’s vacuum. Particular static exact solutions show that, while electric charges with a pole structure behave according to Coulomb’s law, magnetic charges with a pole structure interact with forces not depending on their mutual distance. The latter behaviour is confining for charges of unlike sign, and was already discovered by Treder in 1957 with an approximate calculation, while looking for ordinary electromagnetism in the theory. The exact solutions confirm this finding, already interpreted in 1980 by Treder in a chromodynamic sense.I documenti in IRIS sono protetti da copyright e tutti i diritti sono riservati, salvo diversa indicazione.
