Abstract
The fundamental result, obtained by Dirac, that the dynamical system, which consists of the ensemble of identical bosons is equivalent to the dynamical system, which consists of the ensemble of oscillators, was used to show, that the presence of scalar charge function ρ(, t) to be peer force characteristic of electromagnetic (EM) field along with vector force characteristics (,t), (,t), that was established earlier, agrees with charge neutrality of photons. The simplest analogue in its mathematical description in the physics of condensed matter is the chain of bosonic (spin S = 1) carbon atoms in trans-polyacetylene. It has been shown, that neutral photons are topological relativistic solitons with nonzero spin value, which is equal to ½ instead of prevalent viewpoint, that the photons possess by spin S = 1. Naturally, they have nonzero size, that is, they cannot be considered to be point objects. At the same time, the main excitations in so called "doped" rest massless "boson-atomic" structure of EM-field will be charged spinless EM-solitons. It seems to be reasonable to suggest, that "doping" can be effective by propagation of EM-field in the medium like to rain-clouds, although detailed mechanism has to be additionally studied.
The representation of photons to be the result of spin-charge separation effect in rest massless "boson-atomic" structure of EM-field makes substantially more clear the nature of corpuscular-wave dualism.
