A hypothetical equation of motion is proposed for Kerr-Newman particles. It is obtained by analytic continuation of the Lorentz-Dirac equation into complex space-time. A new class of "runaway" solutions are found which are similar to…
We discuss phenomenology of extra time dimensions in a scenario where the standard model particles are localized in ``our'' time, whereas gravity can propagate in all time dimensions. For an odd number of extra times, at small distances,…
The inadequacy of Li\'{e}nard-Wiechert potentials is demonstrated as one of the examples related to the inconsistency of the conventional classical electrodynamics. The insufficiency of the Faraday-Maxwell concept to describe the whole…
Geometrical model for quantum objects is suggested. It is shown that equations for free material Dirac field and for Maxwell electromagnetic field can be considered as relations describing propagation of the space topological defects. This…
The evolution equations of Einstein's theory and of Maxwell's theory---the latter used as a simple model to illustrate the former--- are written in gauge covariant first order symmetric hyperbolic form with only physically natural…
From the viewpoint of the singular quantum mechanics the effect of the energy-dependent coupling constant for $\delta$-function potential is examined. The energy-dependence of the coupling constant naturally generates the time-derivative in…
In present paper we construct classical and quantum models of an extended charged particle. One shows that consecutive modelling can be based on the hollow thin-wall charged texture (in the hydrodynamical approach of a perfect fluid) which…
Non-perturbative methods of effective field theory such like Lattice QCD have allowed to establish connection between the QCD Lagrangian and quark potential models, a prominent outcome being the Cornell (linear plus Coulomb) potential. In…
We probe the application of the calculus of conormal distributions, in particular the Pull-Back and Push-Forward Theorems, to the method of layer potentials to solve the Dirichlet and Neumann problems on half-spaces. We obtain full…
An elementary treatment of the Dirac equation in the presence of a three dimensional spherically symmetric delta potential is presented. We show how to calculate the cross section using the relativistic wave expansion method for a one delta…
After reviewing the algebraic derivation of the Doppler factor in the Lienard-Wiechert potentials of an electrically charged point particle, we conclude that the Dirac delta function used in electrodynamics must be the one obeying the weak…
The hydrodynamic limit and Newtonian limit are important in the relativistic kinetic theory. We justify rigorously the validity of the two independent limits from the special relativistic Boltzmann equation to the classical Euler equations…
Using the wave equation as an example, it is shown how to extend the hydrodynamic Lagrangian-picture method of constructing field evolution using a continuum of trajectories to second-order theories. The wave equation is represented through…
