The relativistic formulation of Hide's "magnetic analogue" of Ertel's potential vorticity theorem is Dirac's "new classical theory of electrons". Dirac's "new theory" implies a supraconducting relativistic medium for which the vorticity wµv is proportional to the Maxwellian field strength Fµv. By these Ertel's circulation theorem becomes to a theorem of the electromagnetic field Fµv.
