Addendum to "...The Relativistic Covariance of the B-Cyclic Relations" [Found. Phys. Lett. 10 (1997) 383-391]

Abstract

In the previous paper we proved that the Evans-Vigier definitions of B(0) and B(3) may be related not with magnetic fields but with a 4-vector field. In the present Addendum it is shown that the terms used in the B- Cyclic theorem proposed by M. Evans and J.-P. Vigier may have various transformation properties with respect to Lorentz transformations. The fact whether the B(3) field is a part of a bi-vector (which is equivalent to antisymmetric second-rank tensor) or a part of a 4-vector, depends on the phase factors in the definition of positive- and negative- frequency solutions of the ( B, E) transverse field. This is closely connected to our considerations of the Bargmann-Wightman-Wigner (Gelfand-Tsetlin-Sokolik) Constructs and with the Ahluwalia's recent consideration of the phase factor related to gravity. The physical relevance of proposed constructs is discussed.
