文摘In two previous papers <a href="#ref1">[1]</a> and <a href="#ref2">[2]</a>, a structure for vector products in <em>n</em> dimensions was presented, and at the same time it was possible to propose the existence of a vector analogous to the curl of a vector field, for a space of four dimensions. In continuation of these works, the objective is to develop, through dimensional analogy, the idea of a hypothetical vector field, associated with the classical electromagnetic wave. This hypothetical field has a possible mathematical existence only when considering a space of four dimensions. The properties of the electromagnetic wave are preserved and equations with mathematical forms analogous to those of Maxwell’s equations are presented.
