Toward a more complete electrodynamic theory

Abstract: Maxwell's equations require a gauge condition for specific solutions. This incompleteness motivates use of a dynamical quantity, ξ=−∇•A − εμ ∂φ/∂t. Here, A and φ are the vector and scalar potentials, with permeability and permittivity, ε and μ respectively. The results are: relativistic covariance; classical wave solutions; elimination of inconsistency between the media-interface matching for φ and for Gauss' law; independent determination of A and φ; prediction of two new waves, one being a charge-fluctuation-driven scalar wave, having energy but not momentum; a second longitudinal-electric wave with energy and momentum; experimental suggestions.
