Nonzero divergence present theory

The present chapter is devoted mainly to one of these new theories, in particular to its possible applications to photon physics and optics. This theory is based on the hypothesis of a nonzero divergence of the electric field in vacuo, in combination with the condition of Lorentz invariance. The nonzero electric field divergence, with an associated space-charge current density, introduces an extra degree of freedom that leads to new possible states of the electromagnetic field. This concept originated from some ideas by the author in the late 1960s, the first of which was published in a series of separate papers [10,12], and later in more complete forms and in reviews [13-20]. 

In principle, this nonzero conductivity effect could also be included in the present theory of a nonzero electric field divergence. 

The extra degree of freedom introduced into the present theory by the nonzero electric field divergence gives rise to new classes of phenomena such as bound steady electromagnetic equilibria and free dynamic states, including wave phenomena. These possibilities are demonstrated by Fig. 1. 

For the present theory to result in electrically charged particle states it therefore becomes necessary to look into radial functions R that are divergent at the origin. This leads to the subsequent question whether the corresponding integrals (B.9) would then be able to form the basis of an equilibrium having finite and nonzero values of all the quantities qit, Mo, mo, and, v(1. In the next section we will shown how this question can be answered.
