The classical equation of motion of a charged point particle, including its radiation reaction, is described by the Lorentz-Dirac equation. We found a new class of solutions that describe tunneling (in a completely classical context!). For…

The Lorentz force equations provide a partial description of the geodesic motion of a charged particle on a four-manifold. Under the hypothesis that Maxwell's equations express symmetry properties of the Ricci tensor, the full…
We modify the Einstein-Schrodinger theory to include a cosmological constant $\Lambda_z$ which multiplies the symmetric metric, and we show how the theory can be easily coupled to additional fields. The cosmological constant $\Lambda_z$ is…
This paper begins with a critical analysis of the concept of 'material point particle'. We argue that this concept is incompatible with the force laws of action-at-a-distance electrodynamics, and we suggest that the trajectory of a particle…
In this paper, we derive Lorentz force and Maxwell's equations on kappa-Minkowski space-time up to the first order in the deformation parameter. This is done by elevating the principle of minimal coupling to non-commutative space-time. We…
We consider the nonlinear Klein Gordon Maxwell system on four dimensional Minkowski space-time. For appropriate nonlinearities the system admits soliton solutions which are gauge invariant generalizations of the non-topological solitons…

Ultraviolet self-interaction energies in field theory sometimes contain meaningful physical quantities. The self-energies in such as classical electrodynamics are usually subtracted from the rest mass. For the consistent treatment of…
We consider a class of electromagnetic fields that contains crossed fields combined with longitudinal electric and magnetic fields. We study the motion of a classical particle (solutions of the Lorentz equations) in such fields. Then, we…
