Nonlocal electrodynamics of linearly accelerated systems
نویسنده
چکیده
The measurement of an electromagnetic radiation field by a linearly accelerated observer is discussed. The nonlocality of this process is emphasized. The nonlocal theory of accelerated observers is briefly described and the consequences of this theory are illustrated using a concrete example involving the measurement of an incident pulse of radiation by an observer that experiences uniform acceleration during a limited interval of time.

Vacuum Electrodynamics of Accelerated Systems: Nonlocal Maxwell’s Equations
The nonlocal electrodynamics of accelerated systems is discussed in connection with the development of Lorentz-invariant nonlocal field equations. Nonlocal Maxwell’s equations are presented explicitly for certain linearly accelerated systems. In general, the field equations remain nonlocal even after accelerated motion has ceased. PACS numbers: 03.30.+p, 11.10.Lm
متن کاملNonlocal electrodynamics of accelerated systems
Acceleration-induced nonlocality is discussed and a simple field theory of nonlocal electrodynamics is developed. The theory involves a pair of real parameters that are to be determined from observation. The implications of this theory for the phenomenon of helicity-rotation coupling are briefly examined.
متن کاملNonlocal Lagrangians for Accelerated Systems
Acceleration-induced nonlocality and the corresponding Lorentz-invariant nonlocal field equations of accelerated systems in Minkowski spacetime are discussed. Under physically reasonable conditions, the nonlocal equation of motion of the field can be derived from a varia-tional principle of stationary action involving a nonlocal Lagrangian that is simply obtained by composing the local inertial...
متن کاملEnergy radiated from a fluctuating selfdual string
We compute the energy that is radiated from a fluctuating selfdual string in the large N limit of AN−1 theory using the AdS-CFT correspondence. We find that the radiated energy is given by a nonlocal expression integrated over the string world-sheet. We also make the corresponding computation for a charged string in six-dimensional classical electrodynamics, thereby generalizing the Lienard-Wie...
متن کاملStability of higher derivative modifications of Einstein - aether theory
A time-like unit vector field is used to generalize Einstein's gravity. The resulting theory, called the Einstein-aether theory, consists of a minimal coupling between an aether field and gravity. Inspired by the Bopp-Podolsky electrodynamics, which is well-known for removing the singularity at the point charge, we generalized the Einstein-aether theory by adding such a higher order self-intera...
