abstract
The paper presents the conservative dynamics of two-body point-mass systems up to the third post-Newtonian order ($1/c^6$). The two-body dynamics is given in terms of a higher order ADM Hamilton function which results from a third post-Newtonian Routh functional for the total field-plus-matter system. The applied regularization procedures, together with making use of distributional differentiation of homogeneous functions, give unique results for the terms in the Hamilton function apart from the coefficient of the term $(\nu p_{i}{\pa_{i}})^2r^{-1}$. The result suggests an invalidation of the binary point-mass model at the third post-Newtonian order.

A Legendre transform establishes an exact duality between the classical Polchinski equation and the authors' classical RG equation for the gravitational effective action.
Experiments confirm general relativity to high precision in weak-field and strong-field regimes, with gravitational wave damping matching predictions to better than 0.5 percent.
