Self-Force of a Dirac String: An Explicit Calculation
Alberto G. Rojo
A Dirac string can be modeled as a semi-infinite solenoid carrying a fixed magnetic flux. Dirac pointed out that such a string should experience a nonvanishing and divergent self-f…

Nonholonomic constraints at finite temperature
Eduardo A. Jagla, Anthony M. Bloch, Alberto G. Rojo
We investigate the behavior of dynamical systems with nonholonomic constraints when coupled to a thermal bath, focusing on the paradigmatic case of the Chaplygin sleigh. A straight…
