Optical geometry analysis of the electromagnetic self-force
arXiv:gr-qc/0512082 · doi:10.1063/1.2206877
Abstract
We present an analysis of the behaviour of the electromagnetic self-force for charged particles in a conformally static spacetime, interpreting the results with the help of optical geometry. Some conditions for the vanishing of the local terms in the self-force are derived and discussed.
