It is well known that a concept of point charge interacting with electromagnetic (EM) field has a problem. To address that problem we introduce a concept of wave-corpuscle to describe spinless elementary charges interacting with the…
We sketch the derivation of a Newtonian gravity-like force emerging from a direct-action variant of classical electromagnetism. The binding energy is a consequence of maximal phase correlation of the sources mediated by approximately…

A wave function can be written in the form of {\psi} = ReiS/h. We put this form of wave function into quantum mechanics equations and take hydrodynamic limit, i. e., let Planck constant be zero. Then equations of motion (EOM) describing the…
The free action for massless Ramond-Ramond fields is derived from closed superstring field theory using the techniques of Siegel and Zwiebach. For the uncompactified Type IIB superstring, this gives a manifestly Lorentz-covariant action for…
An exact solution is given to the classical electromagnetic (EM) radiation-reaction (RR) problem, originally posed by Lorentz. This refers to the dynamics of classical non-rotating and quasi-rigid finite size particles subject to an…
We study the many-body problem of charged particles interacting with their self-generated electromagnetic field. We model the dynamics of the particles by the many-body Maxwell-Schr\"odinger system, where the particles are treated quantum…
The self-force of a point charge moving on a rectilinear trajectory is obtained, with no need of any explicit removal of infinities, as the negative of the time rate of change of the momentum of its retarded self-field.
A fully consistent classical relativistic electrodynamics with spinless point charges is constructed. The classical evolution of the electromagnetic fields is governed by the nonlinear Maxwell--Born--Infeld field equations, the classical…

We consider two-body problem in the self-field (1+1)-dimensional quantum electrodynamics on the circle. We present two formulations of the problem which correspond to two different types of variational principles and prove that both…
A motion of a classical free charge in an electromagnetic plane wave can be found exactly in a fully relativistic case. We have found an approximate non-parameter form of the suitable equations of motion. In a linearly polarized wave, in…
