The Maxwell field tensor is given by
Fab=⎝⎜⎜⎜⎛0ExEyEz−Ex0Bz−By−Ey−Bz0Bx−EzBy−Bx0⎠⎟⎟⎟⎞
A general 4-velocity is written as Ua=γ(1,v), where γ=(1−∣v∣2)−1/2, and c=1. A general 4-current density is written as Ja=(ρ,j), where ρ is the charge density and j is the 3 -current density. Show that
FabUb=γ(E⋅v,E+v×B)
In the rest frame of a conducting medium, Ohm's law states that j=σE where σ is the conductivity. Show that the relativistic generalization to a frame in which the medium moves with uniform velocity v is
Ja−(JbUb)Ua=σFabUb
Show that this implies
j=ρv+σγ(E+v×B−(v⋅E)v)
Simplify this formula, given that the charge density vanishes in the rest frame of the medium
