Derivation of Gravitational Self-Force
Samuel E. Gralla, Robert M. Wald
We analyze the issue of ``particle motion'' in general relativity in a systematic and rigorous way by considering a one-parameter family of metrics corresponding to having a body (…
A Rigorous Derivation of Electromagnetic Self-force
Samuel E. Gralla, Abraham I. Harte, Robert M. Wald
During the past century, there has been considerable discussion and analysis of the motion of a point charge, taking into account "self-force" effects due to the particle's own ele…
Numerical Radiation Reaction for a Scalar Charge in Kerr Circular Orbit
Samuel E. Gralla, John L. Friedman, Alan G. Wiseman
We numerically calculate the dissipative part of the self-force on a scalar charge moving on a circular, geodesic, equatorial orbit in Kerr spacetime. The solution to the scalar fi…
