Abstract
In the present chapter we study the symmetry of Maxwell’s equations relative to the Lie algebra of the conformal group and relative to discrete transformations — spatial inversion, time reversal, and charge conjugation.
Physical discoveries have shown the mathematician new forms of quantities which he could never imagine.
J.C. Maxwell
