Electromagnetism in Curved Spacetime  

In General > s.a. astrophysics; black-hole and gravitational phenomenology.
* Remark: In flat spacetime, the Coulomb law implies the Gauss law, but the latter is the one that generalizes to curved spacetime.

Coupling to Gravity > s.a. lorentzian geometry [analog]; gravitating matter; unified theories.
* Motivation: Improved experimental tests of general relativity, including electromagnetic fields around black holes, and alternatives theories.
* Idea: The Maxwell equations in terms of (E, B) and (D, H) do not require a metric or connection, but the constitutive relationships between those two pairs do; The coupling to gravity may be non-minimal, and in particular it may require non-metricity and/or torsion.
