Mode sum regularization approach for the self-force in black hole spacetime
Mode sum regularization approach for the self-force in black hole spacetime
We present a method for calculating the self-force (the ``radiation reaction force'') acting on a charged particle moving in a strong field orbit in black hole spacetime. In this approach, one first calculates the contribution to the self-force due to each multipole mode of the particle's field. Then, the sum …
