We study the self forces acting on static scalar and electric test charges in the spacetime of a Schwarzschild black hole. The analysis is based on a direct, local calculation of the self forces via mode decomposition, and on two independent regularization procedures: A spatially-extended particle model method, and on a mode-sum regularization prescription. In all cases we find excellent agreement with the known exact results.

  1. Self-Forces as Nonlocal Probes of Gravastar Interiors

    gr-qc 2026-07 conditional novelty 7.0

    For charges held near a gravastar, the self-force carries information about the interior, giving explicitly computable differences from the black-hole case.

  2. Self-Forces as Nonlocal Probes of Gravastar Interiors

    gr-qc 2026-07 conditional novelty 6.0

    Static scalar and electric charges near a thin-shell gravastar experience self-forces different from those near a black hole, with analytic leading-order formulas.
