This paper has been withdrawn by the author because the arguments presented in the paper is incomplete.
We present a pedagogical review of old inconsistencies of Classical Electrodynamics and of some new ideas that solve them. Problems with the electron equation of motion and with the non-integrable singularity of its self-field energy tensor…
The effective equations of motion for a point charged particle taking account of radiation reaction are considered in various space-time dimensions. The divergencies steaming from the pointness of the particle are studied and the effective…
This paper has been withdrawn by the author due to a crucial sign error in equation which we use from Ref. 7 that is incorrect. In particular, Eq.(1-8) is not the correct equation from the variation of N. See, for example, Eq.(6) in PRD93,…
We present a stochastic theory for the nonequilibrium dynamics of charges moving in a quantum scalar field based on the worldline influence functional and the close-time-path (CTP or in-in) coarse-grained effective action method. We…
In this article the linear Boltzmann equation is derived for a particle interacting with a Gaussian random field, in the weak coupling limit, with renewal in time of the random field. The initial data can be chosen arbitrarily. The proof is…
Inconsistencies are pointed out in a recent proposal [L. Diosi, Phys. Rev. A 80, 064104 (2009); arXiv:0905.3908v1] for a quantum version of the classical linear Boltzmann equation.
In [1, arXiv:1005.2617] effective field theory methods have been employed to compute the equations of motion of a spherically symmetric charged shell of radius R, taking into account the radiation reaction force exerted by the shell's own…
We offer some, hopefully clarifying, comments on Verlinde's recent claim that gravity is an entropic force. A suitable identification of quantities shows that both formulations of Newtonian gravity, the classical and the thermodynamical…
As a serious attempt for constructing a new foundation for describing micro-entities from a causal standpoint, it was explained before in [1, 2, 3] that by unifying the concepts of information, matter and energy, each micro-entity is…
We show that the Lorentz-Dirac equation is not an unavoidable consequence of energy-momentum conservation for a point charge. What follows solely from conservation laws is a less restrictive equation already obtained by Honig and Szamosi.…
We revisit the classical theory of a relativistic massless charged point particle with spin and interacting with an external electromagnetic field. In particular, we give a proper definition of its kinetic energy and its total energy, the…
In Phys. Rev. D 102, 024057 (2020), the authors studied energy conditions in $f(Q)$ theory following the same path as researchers handled the energy conditions in the curvature-based modified gravity theories, like $f(R)$ or $f(R,G)$…
It is shown that the claims expressed in the Comment arXiv:0810.3247v1 against my paper Phys. Rev. Lett. {\bf 101}, 163603 (2008) [arXiv:0809.3901] are obviously wrong or not essential.
The Comment by Markenscoff that criticizes a recent dynamic extension of the Peierls-Nabarro equation [Y.-P. Pellegrini, Phys. Rev. B 81, 024101 (2010)] is refuted by means of simple examples that illustrate the interest of using an…
We examine a stochastic Landau-Lifshitz-Gilbert equation based on an exchange energy functional containing second-order derivatives of the unknown field. Such regularizations are featured in advanced micromagnetic models recently introduced…
We investigate the gravitational effect on Landau levels. We show that the familiar infinite Landau degeneracy of the energy levels of a quantum particle moving inside a uniform and constant magnetic field is removed by the interaction of…
The range of validity of the semiclassical Smoluchowski equation derived recently by Coffey et al is discussed. The analysis is based on the quantum Smoluchowski equation derived by the present author before. A quantum generalization of the…
