As recent work continues to demonstrate, the study of relativistic scattering processes leads to valuable insights and computational tools applicable to the relativistic bound-orbit two-body problem. This is particularly relevant in the post-Minkowskian approach to the gravitational two-body problem, where the field has only recently reached a full description of certain physical observables for scattering orbits, including radiative effects, at the third post-Minkowskian (3PM) order. As an historically instructive simpler example, we consider here the analogous problem in electromagnetism in flat spacetime. We compute for the first time the changes in linear momentum of each particle and the total radiated linear momentum, in the relativistic classical scattering of two point-charges, at sixth order in the charges (analogous to 3PM order in gravity). We accomplish this here via direct iteration of the classical equations of motion, while making comparisons where possible to results from quantum scattering amplitudes, with the aim of contributing to the elucidation of conceptual issues and scalability on both sides. We also discuss further extensions to radiative quantities of recently established relations which analytically continue certain observables from the scattering regime to the regime of bound orbits, applicable for both the electromagnetic and gravitational cases.

  1. A Runway to Dissipation of Angular Momentum via Worldline Quantum Field Theory

    hep-th 2026-05 unverdicted novelty 6.0 of 10

    The authors introduce static correlators in worldline QFT to compute angular momentum dissipation in black hole scattering, reproducing the known O(G^3) flux and extending the approach to electromagnetism at O(α^3).

    gr-qc 2026-02 conditional novelty 6.0 of 10

    Near-separatrix logarithmic divergence, anchored by fitted unstable-circular-orbit fluxes, yields resummed formulas for energy loss in extreme-mass-ratio scattering that track exact numerical calculations to about 10-25%.

  3. Electromagnetic Scoot for Dyons Revisited

    hep-th 2026-07 conditional novelty 5.0 of 10

    Dyon (or electric-magnetic) scattering retains a 1PM angular-momentum scoot on both constant-time and hyperboloidal slices, balanced by fields, while the mass-moment scoot vanishes on hyperboloids as in the pure-elect...

  5. Weak-field waveforms for generic relativistic orbits

    hep-th 2026-06 unverdicted novelty 5.0 of 10

    Outlines a Schwinger-Keldysh path-integral framework that derives worldline equations of motion and computes weak-field gravitational waveforms independently for unspecified relativistic orbits.

    gr-qc 2024-06 unverdicted novelty 5.0 of 10

    Hyperboloidal slices and distinct early/late BMS transformations reconcile mass moment calculations in post-Minkowski scattering and support a conjectured all-order flux balance law.
