Gravitation, the universal attractive force, acts upon all matter (and radiation) relentlessly. Left to itself, gravity would pull everything together and the Universe would be nothing but a gigantic black hole. Nature throws almost every…

The force in the equation of motion of a particle should be in accordance with energy conservation in a constant gravitational field. It turns out that this is possible only if the force is given by the change of momentum per unit of…

We study the self force acting on a scalar charge in uniform circular motion around a Schwarzschild black hole. The analysis is based on a direct calculation of the self force via mode decomposition, and on a regularization procedure based…

Gravity is one of the fundamental forces of Nature, and it is the dominant force in most astronomical systems. In common with all other phenomena, gravity must obey the principles of special relativity. In particular, gravitational forces…

In this work, we first obtain the linear form of the scalar self-force and then, the effect of self-force on the particle's trajectory is considered. In de Sitter space-time, within the classical approach, we consider this effect. Finally,…

The interaction of a charged particle with its own field results in the "self-force" on the particle, which includes but is more general than the radiation reaction force. In the vicinity of the particle in curved spacetime, one may follow…

The gravitaional force produced by a point particle, like the sun, in the background of the static Einstein universe is studied. Both the approximate solution in the weak field limit and exact solution are obtained. The main properties of…

We consider a scalar charge travelling in a curved background spacetime. We calculate the quasi-local contribution to the scalar self-force experienced by such a particle following a geodesic in a general spacetime. We also show that if we…

The particles of a dark matter due to gravitational interaction deviate from straight trajectories in the vicinity of a massive body. This causes their density to become inhomogeneous. The developed density contrast causes a gravitation…

When an electric charge is supported at rest in a static gravitational field, its electric field is not supported with the charge, and it falls freely in the gravitational field. Drawing the electric field lines continuously in time, we…

It is commonly observed that objects in a gravitational field experience a rate of acceleration that is independent of their mass and that, as a result, all massive objects with the same initial conditions follow the same trajectory. It is…
