Martínez Ledesma Física, Astronomía y Matemáticas cosmology quantum electrodynamics Classical electromagnetism Astronomical observations are suggesting that the fine structure constant varies cosmologically. We present an analysis on the consequences that these variations might induce on the electromagnetic field as a whole. We show that under these circumstances the electrodynamics in vacuum could be described by two fields, the ´´standard´´ Maxwell´s field and a new scalar field. We provide a generalised Lorentz force which can be used to test our results experimentally. 2004 artículo científico 0035-001X https://www.redalyc.org/articulo.oa?id=57062802 en http://www.redalyc.org/revista.oa?id=570 Revista Mexicana de Física application/pdf Sociedad Mexicana de Física A.C.
