Abstract

We discuss the construction of Maxwellian electrodynamics in 2+1 dimensions and some of its applications. Special emphasis is given to the problem of the retarded potentials and radiation, where substantial differences with respect to the usual three-dimensional case arise. These stem from the general form of the solutions of the wave equation in two dimensions, which we discuss using the Green’s function method. We believe the topics presented here could be stimulating additions to an advanced electrodynamics course at the undergraduate level. (AU)
