We propose a Lorentz-covariant theory of gravity, and explain its theoretical origins in the problem of time in Newtonian physics. In this retarded gravitation theory (RGT), the gravitational force depends upon both retarded position and…
We discuss, in the context of classical electrodynamics with a Lorentz invariant cut-off at short distances, the self-force acting on a point charged particle. It follows that the electromagnetic mass of the point charge occurs in the…
During the past century, there has been considerable discussion and analysis of the motion of a point charge, taking into account "self-force" effects due to the particle's own electromagnetic field. We analyze the issue of "particle…
We review and compare two different approaches to radiation reaction in classical electrodynamics of point charges: a local calculation of the self-force using the charge equation of motion and a global calculation consisting in integration…
The perturbative approach to quantum field theory using retarded functions is extended to noncommutative theories. Unitarity as well as quantized equations of motion are studied and seen to cause problems in the case of space-time…
There is a fundamental difference between the classical expression for the retarded electromagnetic potential and the corresponding retarded solution of the wave equation that governs the electromagnetic field. While the boundary…

Standard formulae of classical electromagnetism for the forces between electric charges in motion derived from retarded potentials are compared with those obtained from a recently developed relativistic classical electrodynamic theory with…
A model for the dynamics of a classical point charged particle interacting with higher order jet fields is introduced. In this model, the dynamics of the charged particle is described by an implicit ordinary second order differential…
We study a relativistic charged Dirac particle moving in a rotating magnetic field. By using a time-dependent unitary transformation, the Dirac equation with the time-dependent Hamiltonian can be reduced to a Dirac-like equation with a…
We study the behavior of solitary-wave solutions of some generalized nonlinear Schr\"odinger equations with an external potential. The equations have the feature that in the absence of the external potential, they have solutions describing…
We study a retarded potential solution of a massless scalar field in curved space-time. In a special ansatz for a particle at rest whose magnitude of the (scalar) charge is changing with time, we found an exact analytic solution. The…
We propose classical equations of motion for a charged particle with magnetic moment, taking radiation reaction into account. This generalizes the Landau-Lifshitz equations for the spinless case. In the special case of spin-polarized motion…
We study the asymptotic behaviour of solutions to the delayed monostable equation $(*)$: $u_{t}(t,x) = u_{xx}(t,x) - u(t,x) + g(u(t-h,x)),$ $x \in R,\ t >0,$ with monotone reaction term $g: R_+ \to R_+$. Our basic assumption is that this…
This paper deals with the asymptotic behavior of solutions to the delayed monostable equation: $(*)$ $u_{t}(t,x) = u_{xx}(t,x) - u(t,x) + g(u(t-h,x)),$ $x \in \mathbb{R},\ t >0,$ where $h>0$ and the reaction term $g: \mathbb{R}_+ \to…
A critical look at the Landau-Lifshitz equation, which has been recently advocated as an "exact" relativistic classical equation for the motion of a point charge with radiation reaction, demonstrates that it generally does not conserve…
We consider a degenerate abstract wave equation with a time-dependent propagation speed. We investigate the influence of a strong dissipation, namely a friction term that depends on a power of the elastic operator. We discover a threshold…
We are interested in the motion of a classical charge acted upon an external constant electromagnetic field where the back reaction of the particle's own field is taken into account. The Landau-Lifshitz approximation to the…
We study the motion of self deforming bodies with non zero angular momentum when the changing shape is known as a function of time. The conserved angular momentum with respect to the center of mass, when seen from a rotating frame,…
The finite part of the self-force on a static scalar test-charge outside a Schwarzschild black hole is zero. By direct construction of Hadamard's elementary solution, we obtain a closed-form expression for the minimally coupled scalar field…
