Radiation reaction and the self-force for a point mass in general relativity.
A point particle of mass mu moving on a geodesic creates a perturbation h(mu), of the spacetime metric g(0), that diverges at the particle. Simple expressions are given for the singular mu/r part of h(mu) and its quadrupole distortion caused by the spacetime. Subtracting these from h(mu) leaves a remainder h(R) that is C1. The self-force on the particle from its own gravitational field corrects...
متن کاملElectrodynamic Radiation Reaction and General Relativity
We argue that the well-known problem of the instabilities associated with the self-forces (radiation reaction forces) in classical electrodynamics are possibly stabilized by the introduction of gravitational forces via general relativity.
متن کاملSelf-force approach for radiation reaction
We overview the recently proposed mode-sum regularization prescription (MSRP) for the calculation of the local radiation-reaction forces, which are crucial for the orbital evolution of binaries. We then describe some new results which were obtained using MSRP, and discuss their importance for gravitationalwave astronomy. The problem of including the radiation-reaction (RR) forces in the orbital...
متن کاملSelf-force approach to radiation reaction: I. Synchrotron radiation
We analyze radiation reaction for synchrotron radiation by computing, via a multipole expansion, the near field evaluated on the world-line of the charge. We find that the temporal component of the self four-force agrees with the radiated power, which one calculates in the radiation zone. This is the case for each mode in the multipole decomposition. We also find agreement with the Abraham-Lore...
متن کاملSelf-similarity in General Relativity
The different kinds of self-similarity in general relativity are discussed, with special emphasis on similarity of the " first " kind, corresponding to spacetimes admitting a ho-mothetic vector. We then survey the various classes of self-similar solutions to Einstein's field equations and the different mathematical approaches used in studying them. We focus mainly on spatially homogenous and sp...
