Abstract

We prove that the Hertz-Debye vectors used to get the solutions of Maxwell?s equations in homogeneous isotropic media are the components of a self-dual tensor with as consequence to supply a relativistic generalization of Hertz-Debye potentials usable to solve the relativistic Maxwell equations. An application is given to electromagnetic Courant-Hilbert progressing waves in free space.
