We investigate a theory of time-symmetric action-at-a-distance electrodynamic or gravitational interactions where the four-forces depend only on the electric charges, the rest masses, the position four-vectors, and the four-velocities of…
The classical theory of radiating point-charges is revisited: the retarded potentials, fields, and currents are defined as nonlinear generalized functions. All calculations are made in a Colombeau algebra, and the spinor representations…
We study the behavior of non-relativistic quantum particles interacting with different potentials in the space-times generated by a cosmic string and a global monopole. We find the energy spectra in the presence of these topological defects…
We investigate the space-time geometry generated by compact objects in (2+1)-dimensional Bopp-Podolsky electrodynamics. Inspired by previous studies where the Bopp-Podolsky field acts as a source for spherically symmetric solutions, we…
We consider the self-potential and the self-force for an electrically charged particle at rest in the massive wormhole space-time. We develop general approach for the renormalization of electromagnetic field of such particle in the static…
It is shown how point charges and point dipoles with finite self-energies can be accomodated into classical electrodynamics. The key idea is the introduction of constitutive relations for the electromagnetic vacuum, which actually mirrors…
In this note we explore monodromy defects for non-invertible symmetries in Maxwell theory, exploiting the conformal mapping to $AdS_{3} \times S^{1}$. With this approach we recover the spectrum of the defect conformal primaries. We also…
The Casimir-Polder interaction energy between a unipolarizable point atom and a unipolarizable dielectric ring has been limited, until now, to the case when the atom is confined on the axis of symmetry of the ring. We find the generalized…
Starting from a continuum theory of defects, that is the analogous to three-dimensional Einstein-Cartan-Sciama-Kibble gravity, we consider a charged particle with spin 1/2 propagating in a uniform magnetic field coincident with a wedge…
Electrostatic interactions between point charges embedded into interfaces separating dielectric media are omnipresent in soft matter systems and often control their stability. Such interactions are typically complicated and do not resemble…
We evaluate the electrostatic interaction energy between two surfaces, one flat and the other slightly curved, in terms of the two-point autocorrelation functions for patch potentials on each one of them, and of a single function $\psi$…
We study the self force acting on static electric or scalar charges inside or outside a spherical, massive, thin shell. The regularization of the self force is done using the recently-proposed Mode Sum Regularization Prescription. In all…
We explore the physical consequences of a new nonlinear electrodynamics, for which the electric field of a point-like charge is finite at the origin, as in the well-known Born-Infeld electrodynamics. However, contrary to the latter, in this…
Rydberg atoms and beams of ultracold polar molecules have become highly useful experimental tools in recent years. There is therefore a need for accessible calculations of interaction potentials between such particles and nearby surfaces…
We consider an instationary macroscopic system of self-interacting particles with an additional potential, the so called Bohm's potential. We study the existence of non-negative global solutions to the (4-th order) system of equations and…
