Conservation Laws in Generalized Riemann-Silberstein Electrodynamics

Starting from positive and negative helicity Maxwell equations expressed in Riemann-Silberstein vectors, we derive the ten usual and ten additional Poincar{\'e} invariants, the latter being related to the electromagnetic spin, i.e., the intrinsic rotation, or state of polarization, of the elect...

Summary:Starting from positive and negative helicity Maxwell equations expressed in Riemann-Silberstein vectors, we derive the ten usual and ten additional Poincar{\'e} invariants, the latter being related to the electromagnetic spin, i.e., the intrinsic rotation, or state of polarization, of the electromagnetic fields. Some of these invariants have apparently not been discussed in the literature before.
