Wellposedness and regularity for linear Maxwell equations with surface current

We study linear time-dependent Maxwell equations on a cuboid consisting of two homogeneous subcuboids. At the interface, we allow for nonzero surface charge density and surface current. This model is a first step towards a detailed mathematical analysis of the interaction of single-layer materials with electromagnetic fields. The main results of this paper provide several wellposedness and regularity statements for the solutions of the Maxwell system. To prove the statements, we employ extension arguments using interpolation theory, as well as semigroup theory and regularity theory for elliptic transmission problems.
