Pulsar geometrodynamics: The classical and quantum structure of the stars

Franz Kahn's ideas on pulsar magnetospheres are exposed. Charged particle m otion close and beyond the speed of light cylinder might explain hard gamma -ray radiation, and creates current density distributions producing radio f requency superluminal beaming, and shaping the structure of the magnetosphe ric electromagnetic field. A quasi-classical (stochastic) description of mo tion, related with the incoherent nature of gamma-ray radiation, replaces t he classical (deterministic) description. Future studies involve vacuum ele ctrodynamics.
