NON-ABELIAN ELECTRODYNAMICS AND THE VACUUM B-(3)

By using an O(3) gauge group, a non-Abelian theory of vacuum electrody namics is developed in which the newly discovered longitudinal vacuum fields B-(3) and iE((3)) appear self-consistently with the usual plane waves B-(1), B-(2), E((1)), and E((2)) in the circular basis (1), (2) , (3), a complex representation of space. Using the charge quantizatio n condition (h) over bar kappa = eA((0)) the vacuum Maxwell equations are given in the non-Abelian representation.
