The self-interaction force on an arbitrarily moving point-charge and its energy-momentum radiation rate: A mathematically rigorous derivation of the Lorentz-Dirac equation of motion
Andre Gsponer
The classical theory of radiating point-charges is revisited: the retarded potentials, fields, and currents are defined as nonlinear generalized functions and all calculations are…
Derivation of the self-interaction force on an arbitrarily moving point-charge and of its related energy-momentum radiation rate: The Lorentz-Dirac equation of motion in a Colombeau algebra
Andre Gsponer
The classical theory of radiating point-charges is revisited: the retarded potentials, fields, and currents are defined as nonlinear generalized functions. All calculations are mad…
On the electromagnetic momentum of static charge and steady current distributions
Andre Gsponer
Faraday's and Furry's formulas for the electromagnetic momentum of static charge distributions combined with steady electric current distributions are generalised in order to obtai…
Derivation of the potential, field, and locally-conserved charge-current density of an arbitrarily moving point-charge
Andre Gsponer
The complete charge-current density and field strength of an arbitrarily accelerated relativistic point-charge are explicitly calculated. The current density includes, apart from t…
The locally-conserved current density of the Lienard-Wiechert field
Andre Gsponer
The complete charge-current density and field strength of an arbitrarily accelerated relativistic point-charge are explicitly calculated. That current includes, apart from the well…
Distributions in spherical coordinates with applications to classical electrodynamics
Andre Gsponer
A general and rigorous method to deal with singularities at the origin of a polar coordinate system is presented. Its power derives from a clear distinction between the radial dist…
What is spin?
Andre Gsponer
This is a late answer to question #79 by R.I. Khrapko, "Does plane wave not carry a spin?," Am. J. Phys. /69/, 405 (2001), and a complement (on gauge invariance, massive spin 1 and…
