A Note on the Coordinate Freedom in Describing the Motion of Particles in General Relativity

Samuel E. Gralla, Robert M. Wald

Our previous work developed a framework for treating the motion of a small body in general relativity, based on a one-parameter-family of solutions to Einstein's equation. Here we…

A new framework for analyzing the effects of small scale inhomogeneities in cosmology

Stephen R. Green, Robert M. Wald

We develop a new, mathematically precise framework for treating the effects of nonlinear phenomena occurring on small scales in general relativity. Our approach is an adaptation of…

The Formulation of Quantum Field Theory in Curved Spacetime

Robert M. Wald

The usual formulations of quantum field theory in Minkowski spacetime make crucial use of Poincare symmetry, positivity of total energy, and the existence of a unique, Poincare inv…

Introduction to Gravitational Self-Force

Robert M. Wald

The motion of sufficiently small body in general relativity should be accurately described by a geodesic. However, there should be ``gravitational self-force'' corrections to geode…

A Rigorous Derivation of Electromagnetic Self-force

Samuel E. Gralla, Abraham I. Harte, Robert M. Wald

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 ele…

Self-forces from generalized Killing fields

Abraham I. Harte

A non-perturbative formalism is developed that simplifies the understanding of self-forces and self-torques acting on extended scalar charges in curved spacetimes. Laws of motion a…
