Book Synopsis
It is well known that classical electrodynamics is riddled with internal inconsistencies springing from the fact that it is a linear, Abelian theory in which the potentials are unphysical. This volume offers a self-consistent hypothesis which removes some of these problems, as well as builds a framework on which linear and nonlinear optics are treated as a non-Abelian gauge field theory based on the emergence of the fundamental magnetizing field of radiation, the B(3) field.

Table of Contents
Interaction of electromagnetic radiation with one fermion; the field equations of classical O(3)b electrodynamics; origin of electrodynamics in the general theory of gauge fields; nonlinear propagation in O(3)b electrodynamics - solitons and instantons; physical phase effects in O(3)b electrodynamics; quantum electrodynamics and the B(3) field; quantum chaos, topological indices and gauge theories; field theory of O(3)b QED and unification with weak and nuclear interactions; potential applications of O(3)b QED; duality and fundamental problems.
