Just a couple of days ago, I discovered that what I used to call "Lorentz" gauge condition
\[\nabla_\mu A^\mu=0\]
is actually the "Lorenz" condition, named after Ludvig Lorenz and not after Hendrik Lorentz, who "only" gave his name to Lorentz transformations.
Hendrik Lorentz |
Ludvig Lorenz |
In my partial defense, I can advocate two motivations:
1) Even Google tries to cheat you:
1) Even Google tries to cheat you:
2) One of the textbooks I used to study field theory [Ryder L. H. - Quantum Field Theory] made the same error!
If you are wondering about the Lorenz condition, check this out.
