Do Inertial Electric Charges Radiate with Respect to Uniformly Accelerated Observers? * Typeset Using Revt E X

چکیده
We revisit the long standing problem of analyzing an inertial electric charge from the point of view of uniformly accelerated observers in the context of semi-classical gravity. We choose a suitable set of accelerated observers with respect to which there is no photon emission coming from the inertial charge. We discuss this result against previous claims [1]. 04.60.+n Typeset using REVTEX This Essay was awarded a Honorable Mention for 1994 by the Gravity Research Foundation

Do Inertial Electric Charges Radiate with Respect to Uniformly Accelerated Observers?
This essay is devoted to calling attention to the increasing interplay between gravity and apparently unrelated areas. I t is remarkable how mathematical techniques developed to shed light on quantum gravity physics have ended up improving and changing our understanding about well established concepts. This is particularly true for semi-classical gravity where many subtleties about the elementa...
متن کاملInteraction of static classical source with Hawking radiation in Schwarzschild spacetime
We show that static sources coupled to a massless scalar field in Schwarzschild spacetime give rise to emission and absorption of zero-energy particles due to Current address Electronic address: [email protected] Electronic address: [email protected] Electronic address: [email protected] 1 the presence of Hawking radiation. This is in complete analogy with the descriptio...
متن کاملA New Kind of Uniformly Accelerated Reference Frames
In the literature, a uniformly accelerated reference frame is defined as a set of observers who remain at rest with respect to a given observer Alice who is accelerating at a constant rate with respect to the instantaneously comoving inertial frames. Two observers Alice and Bob are said to be at rest with respect to each other if the time elapses on the clock of Alice during the passage of a li...
متن کاملAlternative derivation of the correspondence between Rindler and Minkowski particles
We develop an alternative derivation of Unruh and Wald’s seminal result that the absorption of a Rindler particle by a detector as described by uniformly accelerated observers corresponds to the emission of a Minkowski particle as described by inertial observers. Actually, we present it in an inverted version, namely, that the emission of a Minkowski particle corresponds in general to either th...
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 ...
