The Lorentz-Dirac equation is formulated and studied in flat Minkowski spacetime. A concise, novel derivation of the equation is presented. The problem is then enlarged to study radiation damping of an electron moving through a gravitational field. The equation of motion is obtained for this case as well. It is suggested the study of the problem might motivate experiments which could shed light on the recent work related to the emergence of space-time and its structure by means of quantum effects such as quantum entanglement.
洛伦兹 - 狄拉克方程是在平坦的闵可夫斯基时空中建立并研究的。本文给出了该方程简洁新颖的推导过程。接着,问题被拓展到研究电子在引力场中运动时的辐射阻尼。同样也得到了这种情况下的运动方程。有人认为,对这个问题的研究可能会推动一些实验,这些实验或许能为近期通过量子纠缠等量子效应研究时空的出现及其结构的相关工作提供线索。
