Spacetime metric from linear electrodynamics
Abstract
The Maxwell equations are formulated on an arbitrary (1+3)-dimensional manifold. Then, imposing a (constrained) linear constitutive relation between electromagnetic field (E,B) and excitation ( D, H), we derive the metric of spacetime therefrom.
