Abstract

Lorentz electron theory [1] was an early unification of fields and particles, in that case electromagnetic fields and charged particles, in a common and universal description. This frame played a determinant role in a consistent development of classical field theory and relativistic mechanics [2]. This close connection was deeply perturbed by the advent of quantum formalisms, which ultimately emphasize the primary role of quantum fields. Within the framework of quantum electrodynamics, mechanical effects on charged particles, although obtainable in principle, are usually derived with difficulties [3].
