Field Velocity and Mass Renormalization in Classical Electromagnetism
Charles T. Sebens
The intricate procedure of mass renormalization in quantum field theory has a simpler precursor in classical electromagnetism. There, the renormalized mass of a charged body includ…
How Anomalous is the Electron's Magnetic Moment?
Charles T. Sebens
The electron's spin magnetic moment is ordinarily described as anomalous in comparison to what one would expect from the Dirac equation. But, what exactly should one expect from th…
Relativistic Locality from Electromagnetism to Quantum Field Theory
Eugene Y. S. Chua, Charles T. Sebens
Electromagnetism is the paradigm case of a theory that satisfies relativistic locality. This can be proven by demonstrating that, once the theory's laws are imposed, what is happen…
How do Laws Produce the Future?
Charles T. Sebens
The view that the laws of nature produce later states of the universe from earlier ones (prominently defended by Maudlin) faces difficult questions as to how the laws produce the f…
Eliminating Electron Self-Repulsion
Charles T. Sebens
Problems of self-interaction arise in both classical and quantum field theories. To understand how such problems are to be addressed in a quantum theory of the Dirac and electromag…
Absorbing the Arrow of Electromagnetic Radiation
Mario Hubert, Charles T. Sebens
We argue that the asymmetry between diverging and converging electromagnetic waves is just one of many asymmetries in observed phenomena that can be explained by a past hypothesis…
