Abstract :
Theorems concerning electromagnetic fields in linear nonconducting bianisotropic media are investigated. After establishing their symmetry properties, the constitutive relations are examined under time reversal and spatial inversion transformations. Conditions under which the image method and the reciprocity relationships can be applied are discussed. Dyadic Green´s functions and duality relations are also derived. With a postulated Lagrangian density, Maxwell´s equations are obtained from Hamilton´s principle, and energy momentum tensors are obtained from Noether´s theorem. Introducing a quantum postulate in addition to the Maxwell´s equations, electromagnetic fields in bianisotropic media are quantized.
