Abstract: We consider the self-action problem in classical electrodynamics of a massive point-like charge, as well as of a massless one. A consistent regularization procedure is proposed, which exploits the symmetry properties of the theory. The radiation reaction forces in both 4D and 6D are derived. It is demonstrated that the Poincar'e-invariant six-dimensional electrodynamics of the massive charge is renormalizable theory. Unlike the massive case, the rates of radiated energy-momentum tend to infinity whenever the source is accelerated. The external electromagnetic fields, which do not change the velocity of the particle, admit only its presence within the interaction area. The effective equation of motion is the equation for eigenvalues and eigenvectors of the electromagnetic tensor. The interference part of energy-momentum radiated by two massive point charges arbitrarily moving in flat spacetime is evaluated. It is shown that the sum of work done by Lorentz forces of charges acting on one another exhausts the effect of combination of outgoing electromagnetic waves generated by the charges.

Review text

The author considers mechanical effects associated with a moving electric charge. He first considers the regularization product in classical electrodynamics and passes on to consider the interference involved in the radiation from two-point like charges, and to obtain the relativistic generalization of Newton's second law when losses of energy by radiation are considered, following on from this, radiation reaction and normalization are dealt with both for six dimension classical dynamics and for a proton like charged particle. The relation is indicated and the existence of conservation laws involving energy-momentum and angular momentum. The paper depends heavily on some of the references where much of the mathematical arguments are given.
