Classical electrodynamics of point particles

Description

Equations of motion are derived for a pointlike relativistic spinning particle in an external electromagnetic field, neglecting radiative and quantum corrections. The equations are non-linear with singular points appearing when the field is higher than a critical value. An analogy is suggested between this and the noncausal propagation of solutions of quantum equations for high spins in external fields.
