Key Points

This work aims to dissect the electromagnetic self-force contributions when integrating Maxwell electrodynamics with curved spacetime effects.
Developed a framework for decomposing electromagnetic self-force into distinct components.
Analyzed the effects of curvature and boundary conditions on radiation reaction phenomena.
Introduced the absorber-deficit functional to assess global causal structures.
Demonstrated the necessity of the nonlocal tail term in generic curved spacetime.
Identified conditions for gauge-invariance of the absorber-deficit functional.
Proposed a falsifiable program to measure observable deviations in self-force due to curvature effects.
