EXTENDED PARTICLE MODELS BASED ON HOLLOW SINGULAR HYPERSURFACES IN GENERAL RELATIVITY: CLASSICAL AND QUANTUM ASPECTS OF CHARGED TEXTURES

Abstract

In the present paper we construct classical and quantum models of an extended charged particle. One shows that consecutive modelling can be based on the hollow thin-wall charged texture which acquires gravitational mass due to Einstein–Maxwell interaction. We demonstrate that such a model has equilibrium states at the radius equal to the established classical radius of a charged particle. Also we consider quantum aspects of the theory and obtain the Dirac sea conception in a natural way. Besides, the phenomenological unification on the mass level of the two families of elementary particles, charged pions and electrons and positrons, evidently arises as the effect induced by classical and quantum gravity prior to Standard Model.
