Most studies of the pulsar magnetosphere have assumed a pure magnetic dipole in flat spacetime. However, recent work suggests that the effects of general relativity are in fact of vital importance and that realistic pulsar magnetic fields…
We propose definitions for covariance and local Lorentz invariance applicable when the speed of light $c$ is allowed to vary. They have the merit of retaining only those aspects of the usual definitions which are invariant under unit…
We compute the angular momentum of the electromagnetic field on a late time Cauchy surface with an arbitrary constant normal vector relevant for the classical scattering of charged particles. We find a time independent contribution to the…
In the classical vacuum Maxwell-Lorentz theory the self-force of a charged point particle is infinite. This makes classical mass renormalization necessary and, in the special relativistic domain, leads to the Abraham-Lorentz-Dirac equation…
Techniques for coordinate changes that depend on both dependent and independent variables are developed and applied to the Maxwell-Vlasov Hamiltonian theory. Particle coordinate changes with a new velocity variable dependent on the magnetic…
In this article the classical, relativistic Lagrangian based on the isotropic fermion sector of the Lorentz-violating (minimal) Standard-Model Extension is considered. The motion of the associated classical particle in an external…
We study a system of charged, noninteracting classical particles moving in a Poisson distribution of hard-disk scatterers in two dimensions, under the effect of a magnetic field perpendicular to the plane. We prove that, in the low-density…
This communication is devoted to a brief historical framework and to a comprehensive critical discussion concerning foundational issues of Electrodynamics. Attention is especially focused on the events which, about the end of XIX century,…
We introduce a relativistic action that provides a unified and physically meaningful description of particle dynamics in external fields. The proposed action is constructed to be Lorentz covariant and reduces to the standard classical…
Relativistic kinematics is usually considered only as a manifestation of pseudo-Euclidean (Lorentzian) geometry of space-time. However, as it is explicitly stated in General Relativity, the geometry itself depends on dynamics, specifically,…
The `classical' model for a massive spinning particle, which was recently proposed, is derived from the isotropic rotator model. Through this derivation, we note that the spin can be understood as the relativistic extension of the isotropic…
We formulate Lorentz-covariant classical perturbation theory to deal with relativistic bremsstrahlung under gravitational scattering. Our approach is a version of the fast motion approximation scheme, the main novelty being the use of the…
Planck's formula and General Relativity indicate that potential energy influences spacetime. Using Einstein's Equivalence Principle and an extension of his Chock Hypothesis, an explicit description of this influence is derived. We present a…
A constant homogeneous magnetic field is applied to a composite system made of two scalar particles with opposite charges. Motion is described by a pair of coupled Klein-Gordon equations that are written in closed form with help of a…
The motion of spinning relativistic particles in external electromagnetic and gravitational fields is considered. A simple derivation of the spin interaction with gravitational field is presented. The self-consistent description of the spin…
We propose a form for the action of a relativistic particle subject to a positional force that is invariant under time reparametrization and therefore allows for a consistent Hamiltonian formulation of the dynamics. This approach can be…
In deformed or doubly special relativity (DSR) the action of the lorentz group on momentum eigenstates is deformed to preserve a maximal momenta or minimal length, supposed equal to the Planck length. The classical and quantum dynamics of a…
Within the recently proposed Lorentz invariant formalism for description of neutrino spin evolution in presence of an arbitrary electromagnetic fields effects of matter motion and polarization are considered.
We consider the classical theory of the Dirac massive particle in the Riemann-Cartan spacetime. We demonstrate that the translational and the Lorentz gravitational moments, obtained by means of the Gordon type decompositions of the…
(Talk presented at the 7th Marcel Grossmann Meeting on General Relativity, Stanford, CA, July 24-30, 1994) We study the semi-classical limit of the solution of the Dirac equation in a background electromagnetic/gravitational plane wave. We…
