Possible cosmological implications in electrodynamics due to variations of the fine structure constant

Martinez-Ledesma, J. L. · Mendoza, S.

Original · EN

Astronomical observations are suggesting that the fine structure constant varies cosmologically. We present an analysis on the consequences that these variations might induce on the electromagnetic field as a whole. We show that under these circumstances the electrodynamics in vacuum could be described by two fields, the ``standard'' Maxwell's field and a new scalar field. We provide a generalised Lorentz force which can be used to test our results experimentally.
