We present a Lorentz gauge theory of gravity in which the metric is not dynamical. Spherically symmetric weak field solutions are studied. We show that this solution contains the Schwarzschild spacetime at least to the first order of…
We compute the force acting on a free, static electric charge outside a uniform dielectric sphere. We view this force as a self-interaction force, and compute it by applying the Lorentz force directly to the charge's electric field at its…
The self-interaction for a static scalar charge in the space-time of extreme charged anti-dilatonic wormhole is calculated. We assume that the scalar charge is the source of massless scalar field with minimal coupling of the scalar field to…
