How this entity was disambiguated
This entity first appeared as the object of triple T16685916 — resolving that mention is where its identity was fixed. The disambiguator weighed these candidate entities and picked the highlighted one (or “None”, minting a new entity). This is how homonymy is resolved: the same surface form can point to different entities.

-
A.
Lienard–Wiechert potentials
The Liénard–Wiechert potentials are the exact electromagnetic scalar and vector potentials produced by a moving point charge, fully accounting for relativistic and retardation effects.
-
B.
Weyl’s gauge theory
Weyl’s gauge theory is an early 20th-century theoretical framework that introduced the concept of local gauge invariance, laying foundational ideas for modern gauge theories in particle physics.
-
C.
Lorentz ether theory
Lorentz ether theory is a pre-relativistic physical theory that introduced length contraction and time dilation to explain electromagnetic phenomena in a stationary ether, forming a key precursor to Einstein’s special relativity.
-
D.
The Mathematical Theory of Electricity and Magnetism
The Mathematical Theory of Electricity and Magnetism is a classic early 20th-century textbook by James Jeans that systematically develops the theoretical foundations of electromagnetism using advanced mathematical methods.
