Abstract
Abstract In the Lorentz gauge, Maxwell's equations provide four polarizations which can be interpreted as one time-like photon, two transverse space-like photons and one longitudinal space-like photon. It is shown that these solutions indicate the existence of novel longitudinal electric and magnetic fields, denoted E II and B II respectively, and which can be represented in terms of delta functions travelling at the speed of light. Thus E II and B II are novel, physically meaningful fields which are manifestly covariant and which are consistent, in the Lorentz gauge, with special relativity.
