On radiation from hyperbolic motion, behavior of electromagnetic fields, and coordinate transformations at infinity

Abstract

We show explicitly that radiation from a uniformly accelerating charge escapes outside Rindler wedge, while within Rindler wedge there is no flux through infinity, neither in the Minkowski frame nor in the Rindler frame. This remains true despite the fact that the coordinate transformation between the Rindler and Minkowski frames is not trivial at infinity.
