Abstract
A covariant two-potential formalism is introduced after integrating the Maxwell equations with electric and magnetic charges. These two potentials essentially correspond to those of Cabibbo and Ferrari. The Cabibbo-Ferrari local expression forFμν in terms of the two potentials is derived instead of being put in as an ansatz. As a by-product of this derivation we obtain a natural covariant gauge in which the formalism is much simpler, the remaining gauge group beingU1×U1. There are no external and artificial ingredients in this formalism (as there were none in the Cabibbo-Ferrari formalism either) and the basic equations are completely equivalent to the Maxwell equations.
