Radiation reaction in 2+1 electrodynamics

Yu. Yaremko

We discuss the radiation reaction problem for an electric charge moving in flat space-time of three dimensions. We calculate energy-momentum and angular momentum carried by electromagnetic field of the accelerating point-like charge. We decompose them into bound and radiative components. The bound terms are absorbed by individual particle's characteristics within the renormalization procedure. Radiative terms together with already renormalized three-momentum and angular momentum of point-like charge constitute the total conserved quantities of our particle plus field system. Their differential consequences yield the effective (integro-differential) equation of motion of radiating charge in an external electromagnetic field.
