Electromagnetic Forces in the Curved Octonion Spaces

摘要：

　　J.C.Maxwell was the first to apply the quaternion and vectorial terminology to describe the electromagnetic theory.This method inspires the subsequent scholars to adopt the curved octonion space to study theories of electromagnetic and gravitational fields.In the curved octonion space,the octonion parallel transport and covariant derivation are defined from the concept of octonion orthogonality,and applied to depict simultaneously the physical features of electromagnetic and gravitational fields.The paper studies the field equation,linear momentum,angular momentum,energy-torque,power-force,and continuity equation etc.of electromagnetic and gravitational fields in the curved octonion space.The results reveal that the bending grade of curved octonion space will impact directly some force terms and other physical quantities in the electromagnetic and gravitational fields.
