Traditionally the physics of the Unruh effect, i.e. the q.f.t. in the wedges $W_R$ or $W_L$ in Minkowski space is related to the physics in the Rindler Fock space, which is a proplematical strategy. In a careful analysis we show that the…
An electromagnetic analog of the Kerr-Newman solution in general relativity is derived, based on Minkowski's formulation for electromagnetic fields in moving media. The equivalent system is a distribution of charges and currents largely…
The Abraham-Lorentz-Dirac theory predicts vanishing radiation reaction for uniformly accelerated charges. However, since an accelerating observer should detect thermal radiation, the charge should be seen absorbing photons in the…
The features of the scattering of massive neutral particles propagating in the field of a gravitational plane wave are compared with those characterizing their interaction with an electromagnetic radiation field. The motion is geodesic in…
We demonstrate that gamma (from the Lorentz transformation of the Special Theory of Relativity) acts as an impediment to velocity changes only when it occurs inside motion energy transfer relationships. We also examine whether or not gamma…
Regardless of the unspecific notions of photons as light complexes, radiation bundles or wave packets, the radiation from a single state transition is at most a single continuous wave train that starts and ends with the transition. The…
We realize the weak momentum relaxation in Rindler fluid, which lives on the time-like cutoff surface in an accelerating frame of flat spacetime. The translational invariance is broken by massless scalar fields with weak strength. Both of…
We study, using Rindler coordinates, the quantization of a charged scalar field interacting with a constant, external, electric field. First we establish the expression of the Schwinger vacuum decay rate, using the operator formalism. Then…
The recent interest in the imaging possibilities of photonic crystals (superlensing, superprism, optical mirages etc...) call for a detailed analysis of beam propagation inside a finite periodic structure. In this paper, an answer to the…
We study the properties of entanglement entropy among scattering particles as observed from different inertial moving frames, based on an exemplary QED process $e^+e^-\rightarrow\mu^+\mu^-$. By the explicit calculation of the Wigner…
It is shown that conserved charges associated with a specific subclass of gauge symmetries of Maxwell electrodynamics are proportional to the well known electric multipole moments. The symmetries are residual gauge transformations surviving…
Slowly rotating collapsing spherical shells have flat spaces inside and the inertial frames there rotate at omega_s(t) relative to infinity. As first shown by Lindblom & Brill the inertial axes within the shell rotate rigidly without time…
The motion of a test particle in the gravitational field of a non-spherical source endowed with both mass and mass quadrupole moment is investigated when a test radiation field is also present. The background is described by the Erez-Rosen…
We discuss the imaginary-time formalism for field theories in thermal equilibrium in uniformly accelerating frames. We show that under a Wick rotation of Minkowski spacetime, the Rindler event horizon shrinks to a point in a two-dimensional…
Using Hamiltonian methods, we find six relativistic theories of nonlinear electrodynamics for which plane wave perturbations about a constant uniform background are not birefringent. All have the same conformal strong-field limit to…
We discuss persistent currents for particles with internal degrees of freedom. The currents arise because of winding properties essential for the chaotic motion of the particles in a confined geometry. The currents do not change the…
The derivation of the Helmholtz theorem of vector decomposition of a 3-vector field requires that the field satisfy certain convergence properties at spatial infinity. This paper investigates if time-dependent electromagnetic radiation wave…
In this article we first develop novel Rindler-type representations of flat spacetime by demonstrating that the standard hyperbolic transformation is a member of an infinite family of coordinate mappings. We specifically introduce cyclic…
The worldline of a uniformly accelerated localized observer in Minkowski space is restricted in the Rindler wedge, where the observer can in principle arrange experiments repeatedly, and the Cauchy problem for quantum fields in that Rindler…
Spectrum of radiation of a relativistic particle moving in a nonhomogeneous magnetic field is considered. The spectrum depends on the pitch-angle $\alpha$ between the velocity direction and a line tangent to the field line. In case of very…
