RENORMALIZATION OF STATIC SELF-POTENTIAL
A method is presented which allows for the renormalization of the self-potential of a scalar point charge at rest in static curved spacetime. The method is based on the local expansion of the self-potential for a scalar point charge at rest in general static spacetimes.
Keywords: self-force, renormalization
