On Exact Solutions of the Lorentz-Maxwell Equations (Q4515964)

Motion of a classical spinless particle moving in an electromagnetic field is described by the system of differential equations (Lorentz) and of partial differential equations (Maxwell) [see \textit{K.~Meller}, ``Relativity Theory'', Atomizdat, Moscow (1975)] \[ mu_\mu = eF_{\mu\nu}u^\nu,\quad u_\mu\equiv \dot x_\mu =\frac{dx_\mu}{d\tau},\tag{1} \] where \( F_{\mu\nu} = \dfrac{\partial A\nu}{\partial x^\mu} - \dfrac{\partial A\mu}{\partial x^\nu} \) is the tensor of the electromagnetic field \[ \begin{aligned} &\partial_\nu\partial^\nu A_\mu - \partial^\mu(\partial^\nu A_\nu) = j_\mu,\quad j_\mu=eu_\mu,\tag{2}\\ \quad u_\mu u^\mu=1,\tag{3} \end{aligned} \] \(A_\mu\) is the potential of the electromagnetic field. In the present paper using symmetry properties of (1), (2) new classes of exact solutions of the Lorentz-Maxwell system are obtained.
