2 Radiation reaction and renormalization in classical electrodynamics of point particle in any dimension
نویسنده
چکیده
The effective equations of motion for a point charged particle taking account of radiation reaction are considered in various space-time dimensions. The divergencies steaming from the pointness of the particle are studied and the effective renormalization procedure is proposed encompassing uniformly the cases of all even dimensions. It is shown that in any dimension the classical electrodynamics is a renormalizable theory if not multiplicatively beyond d = 4. For the cases of three and six dimensions the covariant analogs of the Lorentz-Dirac equation are explicitly derived.

متن کاملAbsence of Radiation Reaction for an Extended Particle in Classical Electrodynamics
There are known problems with the standard Lorentz-Dirac description of radiation reaction in classical electrodynamics (mass renormalization and its nonuniqueness, preacceleration, runaway solutions and so on, see, for ex., [1-7]). In the literature one can find the opinion that some of that problems are connected with the ”point” description of moving charged particle and the hope that the ma...
متن کاملRadiation reaction and renormalization via conservation laws of the Poincaré group
We consider the self-action problem in classical electrodynamics of a point-like charge arbitrarily moving in flat space-time of four or six dimensions. A consistent regularization procedure is proposed which exploits the symmetry properties of the theory. The energy-momentum and angular momentum balance equations allow us to derive the radiation reaction forces in both 4D and 6D. It is shown t...
متن کاملRadiation reaction, renormalization and conservation laws in six-dimensional classical electrodynamics
A self-action problem for a point-like charged particle arbitrarily moving in flat space-time of six dimensions is considered. A consistent regularization procedure is proposed which relies on energy-momentum and angular momentum balance equations. Structure of the angular momentum tensor carried by the retarded ”LiénardWiechert” field testifies that a point-like source in six dimensions posses...

As it is known a model of a charged particle with finite size is a good tool to consider the effects of self-action and backreaction, caused by electromagnetic radiation. In this work the " size " of a charged particle is induced by its stochastic Brownian vibration. Appropriate equation of particle's motion with radiation force is derived. It is shown that the solutions of this equation correc...
