41.20.Bt, 03.50.De On the validity of the Lorentz-Dirac equation
Ten conserved quantities corresponding to the symmetry of the composite system of point-like charged particle and electromagnetic field under Poincar\'e group are expressed in terms of particle variables. It is shown that the Lorentz-Dirac equation contradicts the differential consequence of "center-of-mass" conserved quantity which arises from the invariance of the system under Lorentz transformation.
