A classical field model is proposed, involving a scalar field interacting with the electromagnetic field, that has discrete particle-like solutions corresponding to any desired mass spectrum, all such solutions having exactly the same electric charge.

The Hamiltonian of a system of charged particles interacting with the electromagnetic field is investigated. For an arbitrary system the multipole expansion of the interaction between the system and the field is derived by means of a suitable canonical transformation. The transformed Hamiltonian is obtained from the Hamiltonian of the system by replacing the momenta by the transformed kinetic momenta and by adding to the Hamiltonian a term representing the interaction of the system with the electric component of the field. By expanding this interaction term, as well as the transformed momenta, in powers of the dimension of the system over the wavelength, the multipole expansion of the Hamiltonian is obtained. For a system interacting with a classical field the multipole form of the Hamiltonian is exactly equivalent to the original Hamiltonian. For a quantized field this is not true, and the multipole form of the transformed Hamiltonian is shown to be equivalent to the original Hamiltonian only for first-order radiation processes.

We present new results regarding the long-range scalar field that emerges from the classical Kaluza unification of general relativity and electromagnetism. The Kaluza framework reproduces known physics exactly when the scalar field goes to one, so we studied perturbations of the scalar field around unity, as is done for gravity in the Newtonian limit of general relativity. A suite of interesting phenomena unknown to the Kaluza literature is revealed: planetary masses are clothed in scalar field, which contributes 25% of the mass-energy of the clothed mass; the scalar potential around a planet is positive, compared with the negative gravitational potential; at laboratory scales, the scalar charge which couples to the scalar field is quadratic in electric charge; a new length scale of physics is encountered for the static scalar field around an electrically-charged mass, L s = μ 0 Q 2 / M ; the scalar charge of elementary particles is proportional to the electric charge, making the scalar force indistinguishable from the atomic electric force. An unduly strong electrogravitic buoyancy force is predicted for electrically-charged objects in the planetary scalar field, and this calculation appears to be the first quantitative falsification of the Kaluza unification. Since the simplest classical field, a long-range scalar field, is expected in nature, and since the Kaluza scalar field is as weak as gravity, we suggest that if there is an error in this calculation, it is likely to be in the magnitude of the coupling to the scalar field, not in the existence or magnitude of the scalar field itself.

We discuss the conceptual difficulties connected with the anticommutativity of classical fermion fields, and we argue that the "space" of all classical configurations of a model with such fields should be described as an infinite-dimensional supermanifold M. We discuss the two main approaches to supermanifolds, and we examine the reasons why many physicists tend to prefer the Rogers approach although the Berezin–Kostant–Leites approach is the more fundamental one. We develop the infinite-dimensional variant of the latter, and we show that the superfunctionals considered in [44] are nothing but superfunctions on M. We propose a programme for future mathematical work, which applies to any classical field model with fermion fields. A part of this programme will be implemented in the successor paper [45].
