Electromagnetic fields in an expanding universe. (English) Zbl 0667.53062

The asymptotic form of the electromagnetic field due to a bounded distribution of charge current in an open, expanding universe is studied. The technique used is to describe a mechanism for passing from a solution of Maxwell’s vacuum field equations on Minkowskian space-time to a solution of Maxwell’s field equation in a region free of charge current on the cosmological background. Such solutions exist.
