TLDR
In this article, it was shown that the dynamic part of the self-interaction is induced by the external force, and that there is no such interaction without an external force.Abstract:
When self-interaction is included, the equation of motion without an external force yields solutions that violate the principle of inertia. This problem is a century old. Recently, it has been shown that there could also be solutions that violate the principle of equivalence. The present paper solves these problems by the observation that the dynamic part of the self-interaction is induced by the external force: there is no such interaction without an external force.read more

A Tail of a Quark in N=4 SYM
TL;DR: In this paper, the dynamics of a composite quark in strongly-coupled large-N_c N=4 super-Yang-Mills was studied, making use of the AdS/CFT correspondence.

Electromagnetic and gravitational self-force on a relativistic particle from quantum fields in curved space
TL;DR: In this article, a quantum field theoretical derivation of the Abraham-Lorentz-Dirac (ALD) equation was provided, which describes the motion of an electric point charge sourcing an electromagnetic field, which back-reacted on the charge as a self-force, and the Mino-Sasaki-Tanaka-Quinn-Wald (MSTQW) equation describing the motion a point mass with selfforce interacting with the linearized metric perturbations caused by the mass off an otherwise vacuous curved background spacetime.

Energy balance with the Landau–Lifshitz equation
William E. Baylis,J. Huschilt +1 more
TL;DR: The Landau-Lifshitz equation is shown not to conserve energy-momentum when there are sudden jumps in the field as mentioned in this paper, and a simple example illustrates the problems and suggests ways to avoid them.

On the equivalence principle and gravitational and inertial mass relation of classical charged particles
TL;DR: In this paper, it was shown that the locally constant force necessary to get a stable hyperbolic motion regime for classical charged point particles, actually, is a combination of an applied external force and of the electromagnetic radiation reaction force.
