Doppler signature in electrodynamic retarded potentials

Doppler Signature in Electrodynamic Retarded Potentials

“…In conclusion, we believe that the derivation of the L-W potentials as reported in ref. 2 is formally correct at it makes evident the physical phenomenology from which the L-W potentials in electrodynamics originate.…”

“…In particular, the statement on page 2 of ref. 2, " Instead of using the well-known identity, the authors derive it, in a convoluted manner, with the help of a Fourier representation of the Dirac delta function." Referring to the use of a property of the Dirac distribution, CG is incorrect and reflects neither in the contextual nor formal aspects of what the authors wrote in ref.…”

“…Referring to the use of a property of the Dirac distribution, CG is incorrect and reflects neither in the contextual nor formal aspects of what the authors wrote in ref. 2. Reference 2 clearly states that an alternative route would be the use of this "wellknown" identity.…”

“…In our work [2], we derive the L-W potentials starting from the conjecture that they are a consequence of a Doppler effect, as suggested by the characteristic correction factor (𝑣∕𝑐) present in their analytical formulation. In this framework, our derivation of the L-W potentials is based on physical phenomenology.…”
