Abstract

It is shown by direct integration how transverse currents can be looked at as a strict consequence of gauge invariants in the restricted Coulomb gauge. Some consequences as about “clothed charges” even at the classical level are also briefly exploited, jointly to a brief touch on the role played by gauge symmetry vs. Lorentz invariance into the electromagnetic properties of the physical vacuum.
