(Shortened due to character limit) This thesis consists of two parts. In part I we consider a discrepancy in the derivation of the electromagnetic self force for a point charge. In the point charge framework the self force can be defined as…

We considered the electromagnetic field of a charge moving with a constant acceleration along an axis. We found that this field obtained from the Li\'enard-Wiechert potentials does not satisfy Maxwell equations if one considers exclusively…
The self-force problem---which asks how self-interaction affects a body's motion---has been poorly studied for spacetime dimensions $d \neq 4$. We remedy this for all $d \geq 3$ by nonperturbatively constructing momenta such that forces and…
We investigate the existence of steady states and exponential decay for hypocoercive Fokker--Planck equations on the whole space with drift terms that are linear in the position variable. For this class of equations, we first establish that…
