Abstract: | It is known that corresponding to a field theory of a tensor of arbitrary rank, there exists a direct-action theory under certain conditions. An attempt is therefore made to construct an explicit direct-action theory for a tensor field of rankN in such a form that the absorber theory of radiation may be worked out using the methods made so well known by Wheeler-Feynman and Hoyle-Narlikar. It is possible to recover the familiar electromagnetic theory corresponding to the case ofN = 1. |
