Gravitational self-force corrections to gyroscope precession along circular orbits in the Kerr spacetime
read the original abstract
We generalize to Kerr spacetime previous gravitational self-force results on gyroscope precession along circular orbits in the Schwarzschild spacetime. In particular we present high order post- Newtonian expansions for the gauge invariant precession function along circular geodesics valid for arbitrary Kerr spin parameter and show agreement between these results and those derived from the full post-Newtonian conservative dynamics. Finally we present strong field numerical data for a range of the Kerr spin parameter, showing agreement with the GSF-PN results, and the expected lightring divergent behaviour. These results provide useful testing benchmarks for self- force calculations in Kerr spacetime, and provide an avenue for translating self-force data into the spin-spin coupling in effective-one-body models.
