| dc.description | Single- and multi-valued solutions of homogeneous Maxwell equations in vacuum are considered, with ''sources'' formed by the (point- or string-like) singularities of the field strengths and, generally, irreducible to any delta-functions' distribution. Maxwell equations themselves are treated as consequences (say, integrability conditions) of a primary ``superpotential'' field subject to some nonlinear and over-determined constraints (related, in particular, to twistor structures). As the result, we obtain (in explicit or implicit algebraic form) a distinguished class of Maxwell fields, with singular sources necessarily carrying a ``self-quantized'' electric charge integer multiple to a minimal ``elementary'' one. Particle-like singular objects are subject to the dynamics consistent with homogeneous Maxwell equations and undergo transmutations -- bifurcations of different types. The presented scheme originates from the ``algebrodynamical'' approach developed by the author and reviewed in the last section. Incidentally, fundamental equivalence relations between the solutions of Maxwell equations, complex self-dual conditions and of Weyl ``neutrino'' equations are established, and the problem of magnetic monopole is briefly discussed. | |
