Self-force on static charges in Schwarzschild spacetime
نویسنده
چکیده
We study the self-forces acting on static scalar and electric test charges in the spacetime of a Schwarzschild black hole. The analysis is based on a direct, local calculation of the self-forces via mode decomposition and on two independent regularization procedures: a spatially extended particle model method and on a mode-sum regularization prescription. In all cases we find excellent agreement with the known exact results. PACS numbers: 0425, 0470, 0470B

Calculating the Self Force in Schwarzschild Spacetime by Mode-sum Regularization Typeset Using Revt E X
We outline a method for calculating the self force (the " radiation reaction force ") acting on a scalar particle in a strong field orbit in a Schwarzschild spacetime. In this method, the contribution to the self force associated with each multipole mode of the particle's field is calculated separately, and the sum over modes is then evaluated, subject to a certain regularization procedure. We ...

متن کاملInteraction of Hawking radiation and a static electric charge
We investigate whether the equality found for the response of static scalar sources interacting (i) with Hawking radiation in Schwarzschild spacetime and (ii) with the Fulling-Davies-Unruh thermal bath in the Rindler wedge is maintained in the case of electric charges. We find a finite result in the Schwarzschild case, which is computed exactly, in contrast with the divergent result associated ...
متن کاملCalculating the gravitational self-force in Schwarzschild spacetime.
We present a practical method for calculating the local gravitational self-force (often called "radiation-reaction force") for a pointlike particle orbiting a Schwarzschild black hole. This is an implementation of the method of mode-sum regularization, in which one first calculates the (finite) contribution to the force due to each individual multipole mode of the perturbation, and then applies...

When a charge is held static near a constant density spherical star, it experiences a self-force Fself , which is significantly different from the force F self it would experience when placed near a black hole of the same mass. In this paper, an expression for the self-force (as measured by a locally inertial observer) is given for an insulating Schwarzschild star, and the result is explicitly ...
