Field-Particle Dynamics in Spacetime Geometries

Abstract

With the aid of a Fermi-Walker chart associated with an orthonormal frame attached to a time-like curve in spacetime, a discussion is given of relativistic balance laws that may be used to construct models of massive particles with spin, electric charge and a magnetic moment,interacting with background electromagnetic fields and gravitation described by non-Riemannian geometries. A natural generalisation to relativistic Cosserat media is immediate.
