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…
We calculate the electromagnetic self-force of a uniformly charged spherical ball moving on a rectilinear trajectory, neglecting the Lorentz contraction.
We study the self-interaction effects for the Dirac particle moving in an external field created by static charges in (1+1)-dimensions. Assuming that the total electric charge of the system vanishes, we show that the asymptotically linearly…

Mobile charge in an electrolytic solution can in principle be represented as the divergence of ionic polarization. After adding explicit solvent polarization a finite volume of electrolyte can then be treated as a composite non-uniform…
When an elastic object is dragged through a viscous fluid tangent to a rigid boundary, it experiences a lift force perpendicular to its direction of motion. An analogous lift mechanism occurs when a rigid symmetric object translates…
