Constitutive equations of the axion theory: relativism and duality
https://doi.org/10.29235/1561-8323-2019-63-1-14-21
Abstract
Based on a comparative analysis of relativistic constitutive equations of the Bokut-Serdyukov-Fedorov (BSF) and Tamm, it was shown that the dual invariance of the latter requires the reversibility of the Tamm material tensor, while the BSF equations are properly dual-invariant. The connection of the mentioned approaches is demonstrated by the example of the equations of axion electrodynamics which were first formulated in the BSF formalism.
