Massive-field approach to the scalar self-force in curved spacetime

Massive-field approach to the scalar self-force in curved spacetime We derive a new regularization method for the calculation of the (massless) scalar self-force in curved spacetime. In this method, the scalar self-force is expressed in terms of the difference between two retarded scalar fields: the massless scalar field and an auxiliary massive scalar field. This field difference combined with a certain limiting process gives the expression for the scalar self-force. This expression provides a new self-force calculation method. http://www.deepdyve.com/assets/images/DeepDyve-Logo-lg.png Physical Review D American Physical Society (APS)

Abstract

We derive a new regularization method for the calculation of the (massless) scalar self-force in curved spacetime. In this method, the scalar self-force is expressed in terms of the difference between two retarded scalar fields: the massless scalar field and an auxiliary massive scalar field. This field difference combined with a certain limiting process gives the expression for the scalar self-force. This expression provides a new self-force calculation method.
