abstract

We utilize generalized unitarity and recursion relations combined with effective field theory(EFT) techniques to compute spin dependent interaction terms for inspiralling binary systems in the post newtonian(PN) approximation. Using these methods offers great computational advantage over traditional techniques involving feynman diagrams, especially at higher orders in the PN expansion. As a specific example, we reproduce the spin-orbit interaction up to 2.5 PN order as also the leading order $S^2$(3PN) hamiltonian for an arbitrary massive object. We also obtain the unknown $S^3$(3.5PN) spin hamiltonian for an arbitrary massive object in terms of its low frequency linear response to gravitational perturbations, which was till now known only for a black hole. Furthermore, we derive the missing $S^4$ Hamiltonian at leading order(4PN) for an arbitrary massive object and establish that a minimal coupling of a massive elementary particle to gravity leads to a black hole structure. Finally, the Kerr metric is obtained as a series in $G_N$ by comparing the action of a test particle in the vicinity of a spinning black hole to the derived potential.

Five-dimensional Geometry from Spinning Amplitudes

hep-th · 2026-05-28 · unverdicted · novelty 7.0

The classical limit of five-dimensional spinning amplitudes reproduces the multipole expansion of five-dimensional black holes after augmenting with the Hodge dual of the spin tensor, and identifies amplitudes corresponding to the Myers-Perry solution.

Generalized Carter & R\"udiger Constants of $\sqrt{\text{Kerr}}$

gr-qc · 2026-02-21 · unverdicted · novelty 7.0

Generalized Carter and Rüdiger constants for spinning charged probes in √Kerr backgrounds exist only for Wilson coefficients matching spin-exponentiated effective Compton amplitudes up to second order in spin.

Gravitational multipoles from scattering amplitudes in higher dimensions

hep-th · 2026-05-06 · unverdicted · novelty 6.0

In five dimensions, minimally coupled massive vector and antisymmetric tensor fields produce only mass or stress quadrupoles respectively from scattering amplitudes, failing to match the Myers-Perry black hole and demonstrating breakdown of spin universality.
