The value of the electromagnetic field at a point defines a vector in a six-dimensional real irrep of the Lorentz group, but the electromagnetic field itself defines a section through a homogeneous bundle over Minkowski spacetime associated to that irrep, and the space of sections is an infinite-dimensional representation which is not highest weight and hence I don't see how to arrive at this "superpotential". | |
