In the standard Lagrangian and Hamiltonian approach to Maxwell's theory the potentials $A^{\mu}$ are taken as the dynamical variables. In this paper I take the electric field $\vec{E}$ and the magnetic field $\vec{B}$ as the the dynamical…
We present a pedagogical review of old inconsistencies of Classical Electrodynamics and of some new ideas that solve them. Problems with the electron equation of motion and with the non-integrable singularity of its self-field energy tensor…
A generalization of the classical electrodynamics for systems in absolute motion is presented using a possible alternative to the Lorentz transformation. The main hypothesis assumed in this work are: a) The inertial transformations relate…
The effective Lagrangian of a point charge is derived by eliminating the electromagnetic field within the framework of the classical closed time path formalism. The short distance singularity of the electromagnetic field is regulated by an…
Boundary dependent corrections to the spin energy eigenvalues of an electron in a weak magnetic field and confined by a harmonic trapping potential are investigated. The electromagnetic field is quantized through a normal mode expansion…
Classical relativistic system of point particles coupled with an electromagnetic field is considered in the three-dimensional representation. The gauge freedom connected with the chronometrical invariance of the four-dimensional description…
It is shown that a well-defined expression for the total electromagnetic force $f^{em}$ on a point charge source of the classical electromagnetic field can be extracted from the postulate of total momentum conservation whenever the…
We consider a nonrelativistic electron interacting with a classical magnetic field pointing along the $x_{3}$-axis and with a quantized electromagnetic field. When the interaction between the electron and photons is turned off, the…
In their simplest formulations, classical dynamics is the study of Hamiltonian flows and quantum mechanics that of propagators. Both are linked, and emerge from the datum of a single classical concept, the Hamiltonian function. We study and…
Schr{\"o}dinger-Pauli (SP) theory is a description of electrons in the presence of a static electromagnetic field in which the interaction of the magnetic field with both the orbital and spin moments is explicitly considered. The theory is…
A fundamental issue in classical electrodynamics is represented by the search of the exact equation of motion for a classical charged particle under the action of its electromagnetic (EM) self-field - the so-called radiation-reaction…
The well known argument of Page and Wootters demonstrates how to "derive" the usual quantum dynamics of a subsystem in a global state which is an eigenstate of the total Hamiltonian. I show how the same argument can be made in classical…
The classical Maxwell--Born--Infeld field equations coupled with a Hamilton--Jacobi law of point charge motion are partially quantized by coupling the Hamilton-Jacobi phase function with an amplitude function, which combines with the phase…
In the presence of an inhomogeneous oscillatory electric field, charged particles experience a net force, averaged over the oscillatory timescale, known as the ponderomotive force. We derive a one-dimensional Hamiltonian model which…
Recent results on the semiclassical dynamics of an electron in a solid are explained using techniques developed for ``exotic'' Galilean dynamics. The system is indeed Hamiltonian and Liouville's theorem holds for the symplectic volume form.…
Consider a homogenous fluid membrane, or vesicle, described by the Helfrich-Canham energy, quadratic in the mean curvature. When the membrane is axially symmetric, this energy can be viewed as an `action' describing the motion of a…
In this paper we consider a generalized classical mechanics with fractional derivatives. The generalization is based on the time-clock randomization of momenta and coordinates taken from the conventional phase space. The fractional…
We investigate the self-energy of one electron coupled to a quantized radiation field by extending the ideas developed recently by C. Hainzl. We fix an arbitrary cut-off parameter Lambda and recover the alpha^2-term of the self-energy,…
We consider an Hamiltonian with ultraviolet and infrared cutoffs, describing the interaction of relativistic electrons and positrons in the Coulomb potential with photons in Coulomb gauge. The interaction includes both interaction of the…
We discuss how to construct a tight binding model Hamiltonan for the simplest possible solid, composed of hydrogen-like atoms. A single orbital per atom is not sufficient because the on-site electron-electron repulsion mixes in higher…
