The theory of point-particles in classical electrodynamics has a well-known problem of infinite self-energy, and the same is true of quantum electrodynamics. Instead of concluding that there is no such thing as a true point-particle, it is…

A class of exact solutions for the Einstein-Maxwell field equations are obtained by assuming the erstwhile cosmological constant $ \Lambda $ to be a space-variable scalar, viz., $ \Lambda =\Lambda(r) $. The source considered here is static,…
We present a new method for solving the relativistic Vlasov--Maxwell system of equations, applicable to a wide range of extreme high-energy-density astrophysical and laboratory environments. The method directly discretizes the kinetic…
In this paper the macroscopic Einstein and Maxwell equations for system, in which the electromagnetic interactions are dominating (for instance, the cosmological plasma before the moment of recombination), are derived. Ensemble averaging of…
We calculate the energy of a homogeneous one component plasma and find that the energy is lower for correlated motions of the particles as compared to uncorrelated motion. Our starting point is the conserved approximately relativistic…
It is the purpose of this paper to give a characterisation of circular light rays in a plasma on an axially symmetric and stationary spacetime. We restrict to the case of an unmagnetised, pressure-free electron-ion plasma and we assume that…
The action principle by Low [Proc. R. Soc. Lond. A 248, 282--287] for the classic Vlasov-Maxwell system contains a mix of Eulerian and Lagrangian variables. This renders the Noether analysis of reparametrization symmetries inconvenient,…
