Description
Summary:The dynamics of Maxwell–Klein–Gordon fields in the framework of complex Minkowski space is considered. It is particularly shown that the procedures involved in the actual derivation of the wave equations which control the propagation of photons lead naturally to new structures describing the corresponding sources. The relevant kinematical integrals are readily built up by utilizing a suitable defining two-spinor expression for the energy-momentum tensor of the complete theory.
