Considering the self force and radiation due to a small body in orbit (especially aperiodic) around a black hole, this paper defines a decomposition of the source into a sum over the shape preserving periodic motions of extended objects…

We investigate a point-like massive source in non-linear f(R) theories in the case of arbitrary number of spatial dimensions D\geq 3. If D>3 then extra dimensions undergo toroidal compactification. We consider a weak-field approximation…

A scalar charged particle moving in a curved background spacetime will emit a field affecting its own motion; the resolving of this resulting motion is often referred to as the self-force problem. This also serves as a toy model for the…

We present here the extended-object approach for the explanation and calculation of the self-force phenomenon. In this approach, one considers a charged extended object of a finite size $\epsilon$ that accelerates in a nontrivial manner,…

The concept of electromagnetic field can be neatly formulated by recognizing that the simplest form of the four-force is indeed feasible. We show that Maxwell's equations almost entirely stem from the properties of spacetime, notably from…

We calculate the effects of the electromagnetic self-force on a charged particle outside a five dimensional Myers-Perry space-time. Based on our earlier work [1], we obtain the self-force using quaternions in Janis-Newman and Giampieri…

A charged particle subject to strong external forces will accelerate, and so radiate energy, inducing a self-force. This phenomenon remains contentious, but advances in laser technology mean we will soon encounter regimes where a more…
