We discuss a practical method to compute the self-force on a particle moving through a curved spacetime. This method involves two expansions to calculate the self-force, one arising from the particle's immediate past and the other from the…

This paper is devoted to the analysis of the divergence of the electron self-energy in classical electrodynamics. To do so, we appeal to the theory of distributions and a method for obtaining corresponding extensions. At first sight,…

The relativistic equation of motion of a particle with spin is derived. The effects of the spin are compared to the effects of the self force. For low energies the spin effects are shown to be two orders of magnitude larger than the self…

We study the self force acting on a particle endowed with scalar charge, which is held static (with respect to an undragged, static observer at infinity) outside a stationary, axially-symmetric black hole. We find that the acceleration due…

We calculate the self-force on an electric charge and electric dipole held at rest in a closed universe that results from joining two copies of Minkowski spacetime at a common boundary. Spacetime is strictly flat on each side of the…

We consider the self-force on a charged particle moving in a curved spacetime with a background electromagnetic field, extending previous studies to situations in which gravitational and electromagnetic perturbations are comparable. The…

We consider the self-force acting on a pointlike (electromagnetic or conformal-scalar) charge held fixed on a spacetime with a spherically-symmetric mass distribution of constant density (the Schwarzschild star). The Schwarzschild interior…

We compute the force acting on a free, static electric charge outside a uniform dielectric sphere. We view this force as a self-interaction force, and compute it by applying the Lorentz force directly to the charge's electric field at its…

When a charge is held static near a constant density spherical star, it experiences a self-force which is significantly different from the force it would experience when placed near a black hole of the same mass. In this paper, an…

The notion of an infinite electromagnetic self energy of point charges (presumably electrons) is accepted by many electromagnetic textbooks. See, for instance,\cite{jdj,dg,rf}. However, each of these sources acknowledge that they don't…

An analytic method is presented which allows for the computation of the self-force for a static particle with a scalar charge in the region of an ultrastatic spacetime which one can call the long throat. The method is based on the…

We analyze the electrostatic self-energy of a point like electrically charged particle induced by a cosmic string in the context of gravity's rainbow, as well the electrostatic self-force on this particle. The possibility of the solution…

We propose a simple relativistic derivation of the electric and the magnetic fields generated by an electric point charge moving with constant velocity. Our approach is based on the radar detection of the point space coordinates where the…

We present a new method designed to avoid numerical challenges that have impeded calculation of the Lorenz gauge self-force acting on a compact object inspiraling into a Kerr black hole. This type of calculation is valuable in creating…

In [1, arXiv:1005.2617] effective field theory methods have been employed to compute the equations of motion of a spherically symmetric charged shell of radius R, taking into account the radiation reaction force exerted by the shell's own…

In an accompanying paper, we have formulated two types of regulariz_ation methods to calculate the scalar self-force on a particle of charge $q$ moving around a black hole of mass $M$, one of which is called the ``power expansion…

I present an overview of the methods involved in the computation of the scalar, electromagnetic, and gravitational self-forces acting on a point particle moving in a curved spacetime. For simplicity, the focus here will be on the scalar…

Point sources in (2+1)-dimensional gravity are conical singularities that modify the global curvature of the space giving rise to self-interaction effects on classical fields. In this work we study the electrostatic self-interaction of a…

We calculate the self-force acting on a particle with scalar charge moving on a generic geodesic around a Schwarzschild black hole. This calculation requires an accurate computation of the retarded scalar field produced by the moving…

A geometrical approach to calculate the electric field due to a uniformly charged rod is presented. The result is surprisingly simple and elegant. Using pure geometrical quantities like length and angle, the direction of the electric field…
