Report
Asymptotic quantization of the electromagnetic field and the resulting inequality for the fine structure constant
Description
Arguments are presented which allow to derive the inequality 0 < e2/ℎc < Π in a purely phenomenological way i.e. without assumptions about the dynamics of sources of the electromagnetic field. 11 refs. (author)
