Acceleration-Induced Nonlocal Electrodynamics in Minkowski Spacetime
arXiv:gr-qc/0003093 · doi:10.1016/S0375-9601(00)00316-9
Abstract
We discuss two nonlocal models of electrodynamics in which the nonlocality is induced by the acceleration of the observer. Such an observer actually measures an electromagnetic field that exhibits persistent memory effects. We compare Mashhoon's model with a new ansatz developed here in the framework of charge & flux electrodynamics with a constitutive law involving the Levi-Civita connection as seen from the observer's local frame and conclude that they are in partial agreement only for the case of constant acceleration.
