A kinetic theory is developed to describe radiating electrons whose motion is governed by the Lorentz-Dirac equation. This gives rise to a generalized Vlasov equation coupled to an equation for the evolution of the physical submanifold of…
We derive a Dirac-like equation, the asymmetric Dirac equation, where particles and antiparticles sharing the same wave number have different energies and momenta. We show that this equation is Lorentz covariant under proper Lorentz…
Although old, this may be of interest. In particular, I have had inquiries concerning the renormalization group calculations in Sec. 6.4. This is a Latex transcription. A scanned version of the original typed manuscript is available at…
The interaction between singular and regular fields is considered for Lorentz-invariant scalar and vector wave equations. The singular field is generated by a Dirac source term. Its dynamics are deduced from the total field Lagrangian. At…
The present work proposes a discussion on the self-energy of charged particles in the framework of nonlinear electrodynamics. We seek magnet- ically stable solutions generated by purely electric charges whose electric and magnetic fields…
We reconsider the renormalization of scalar mass and point out that the quantum correction to the physical observable, as opposed to the bare parameter, of a renormalizable operator, is technically insensitive to ultraviolet physics and…
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…
We analyze radiation reaction for synchrotron radiation by computing, via a multipole expansion, the near field evaluated on the world-line of the charge. We find that the temporal component of the self four-force agrees with the radiated…
We calculate the singular field of an accelerated point particle (scalar charge, electric charge or small gravitating mass) moving on an accelerated (non-geodesic) trajectory in a generic background spacetime. Using a mode-sum…
We consider the radiation reaction to the motion of a point-like particle of mass $m$ and specific spin $S$ traveling on a curved background. Assuming $S=O(Gm)$ and $Gm\ll L$ where $L$ is the length scale of the background curvature, we…
A generalization of the force approach to radiation reaction is given, taken into consideration an arbitrary motion of the charged particle . The expression obtained brings about the expression already given for the linear an the circular…
In this paper, we study the bulk motion of a classical extended charge in flat spacetime. A formalism developed by W. G. Dixon is used to determine how the details of such a particle's internal structure influence its equations of motion.…
The analysis of the EM radiation from a single charge shows that the radiated power depends on the retarded acceleration of the charge. Therefore, for consistency, an accelerated charge, free from the influence of external forces, should…
A point charge accelerating under the influence of an external force emits electromagnetic radiation that reduces the increase in its mechanical energy. This causes a reduction in the particle's acceleration. We derive the decrease in…
Reaction-diffusion equations are studied on bounded, time-periodic domains with zero Dirichlet boundary conditions. The long-time behaviour is shown to depend on the principal periodic eigenvalue of a transformed periodic-parabolic problem.…
Massive spinning particle in $6d$-Minkowski space is described as a mechanical system with the configuration space $R^{5,1} \times CP^3$. The action functional of the model is unambiguously determined by the requirement of identical…
We construct high-precision models of the Universe that contain radiation, a cosmological constant, and periodically distributed inhomogeneous matter. The density contrasts in these models are allowed to be highly non-linear, and the…
The description of the dynamics of an electron in an external electromagnetic field of arbitrary intensity is one of the most fundamental outstanding problems in electrodynamics. Remarkably, to date there is no unanimously accepted…
A formulation of classical electrodynamics on an energy-momentum background of constant, non-zero curvature is given. The procedure consists of taking the formulation of standard electrodynamics in the energy-momentum representation, and…
The collision of a finite electromagnetic plane wave with an electron subject to the Landau-Lifshitz radiation reaction force is studied. A locally monochromatic approximation is derived and compared to numerical evaluation of the exact…
