of great importance in the next section on the deduction of the radiative
superpotential.
Teitelboim started an era in electrodynamics by employing only re-
tarded fi elds and studying Faraday and Maxwell tensors near to and away
from a point charge. This type of analysis is generated by substituting Eqs.
(5) and (7) in Eq. (21b) to obtain the following decomposition:

w is clear be-
cause the parenthesis in Eqs. (25c) and (25d) are independent of the re-
tarded distance; their terms are functions of x , which remains stationary
when we move away over the light cone. Thus,

sponsible for the Larmor formula that provides the radiation speed toward
infinitum. Note that Eqs. (25b) and (25c) depend on the particle accelera-
tion, which is an expected result because of the Schild theorem [26]:

Schild was the first author to give a covariant definition of radiation even
though some of his ideas were already implicit in Synge [27], Appendix
A, whose first edition was made in 1955. We call

the radiative part of
